Adjusting JIC FLT-A2's

does anyone have any tips on adjusting the shock stiffness on the FLT-A2's. The backs are easy to adjust, but its soo hard to get to the ***** on the front. any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated.

i had the car slammed when i went frisco with the stiffness setting set to 5. THE CAR RODE LIKE ****!!! so i went home and i raised the car 1/2 way up and now i have the stiffness at 4. the ride is only a little bumpier than stock now.

i've had them on my wrx before and was reading some old posts.. for best ride comfort you want to be like 2 clicks from full hard on the front and something liek 4-5 clicks from full soft in the rear.. it seemed pretty decent to me even in frisko. i had the 8 6 setup as well and it was on stock height

you never know until you mess around with it.. i mean if you have super stiff springs in the front.. having the shocks stiff in the front might actually keep it from oscillating so much.. thus a little less bumpy.. when i had it setup like that the big bumps would be harsher but the little bumps would be like a *bump* and that's it.. no continuous bumpiness
