The rears only adjust off the car apparently. They rotate and click, but it's only 3 settings IIRC...

no, they can stamp anything they want in the body of the shock, as "Koni adjustable" is a brand name

try undoing the rear top mount, and rotating the top of the shock, see if it stiffens up or anything, mine didnt, but yours might

You push the shock right in, it catches something on the bottom, then you turn it.
That is the konis btw.
Shame on people not being able to work that out and just deciding they are called koni adjustables for a laugh.

Ps, you could probably get away with only undoing 1 bolt to adjust the rears this way, but as it's only 1 other bolt to take it right off you might aswell do that.
