Need help w/ STI adj struts

I have STI pink rebound adjable struts. The adjuster is a sloted plastic "screw"( inside a nut) w/ a white dot and 4 numbers on the nut. So, the problem is ... since I autocross my daily driver, I change the setting frequently and I have messed up the slotted screw to the point I can no longer tell what the setting is on the front struts. I need to replace the nut and screw adjuster. Can anyone point me to a source for this part? And what does it take to change it?

Thats such a uncommon part I think your best bet is going to be asking local vendors if they can order the part or (gasp) going to the stealership for a $40 bolt and plastic screw

I just figured out how to add a picture.
Hope this helps. You are looking at the bottom of the strut. This is a rear one which is not so warn out.
Thanks.

Problem solved

Someone pointed me to the manufacturer of the struts(for Subaru),kyb, and after 3 tries(in the mail), I got the replacement parts(for no cost).
Thank you all for the help
Mark
