guys i get the fact that a hole needs to be drilled on the front strut to access the damper adjustment, but what about the rear? It seems like a pain to remove all the panels in the boot to get access to the adjustment on the coilovers! Given its positioning so far back and NVH impact, do you guys cut parts of the panels?

yeah, I have a little slice in one of the boot pannels so I can reach in without taking all the 'carpet' out.

I got a 4" holesaw and cut a nice neat hole that I can get my hand through.
A quick spray of matt black through the hole hides all the shiney bits so it's hardly noticable

that will work.

but realistically, once you adjust to your likings its doubtful that you will be adjusting them all the time. I have one street adjustment and a track one. I just remove all the trim before a track day (only takes 15 mins)

If I didn't know better I'd say I was looking at my car.
Clean up the edges with a little emery paper, refit the panels and spray matt black through the hole and it'd be mine!
There are some huge rubber body pluns that can be fitted to the holes if you wish but you'll need to source them first to make sure you cut the right dia hole...
I didn't bother

By damage I mean cost

i paid 2695aud to steve and like I mentioned earlier in the thread he said he some stock leftover from last shipment but they are selling fast! I had to wait 3 months for this shipment to arrive

for reference - goodwin in US sells it for 1974usd which translates to 2800AUD

so its cheaper to buy it locally and get warranty etc.
