Oh you can still get it in there. John had the same problem but pure raw strength got it in.

So I needed to adjust the rear coilovers because its way too bouncy. I figure out how to access the shocks on one side, and the pin was in there. And then I took over the other side and the damn shop didn't put the adjustment pin in there.
So I can only adjust one side, and in order to put in the pin the entire coilover has to be removed.

Did you get the Euro trunk finisher on purpose?
A person I know bought the trunk finisher (not going to name names, lol) and didn't even realize it's the Euro version.

No worries I did the same thing on BOTH sides.
Like Mike said you can still get them in it'll just take some brute force. There's going to be some foam insulation surrounding the rear deck. Just use the head of the adjustment pin to push through it.

yeah worst case jack up the car, remove the wheel, unscrew the 3 top hat screws not all the way but enough for the shock to lower itself, and then it'll make it easier.

If it's too bouncy check and make sure they are adjusted properly. The shop that I had install my rears had mine adjusted just by using the seat and seat lock instead of threading the whole strut shaft down into the sleeve. I've read that the seat is supposed to be snug on the spring also... Not super tight. I have K sports adjusted pretty low and my ride quality is still pretty awesome.

Yes I did realize it was euro, I was actually planning on running a Swiss euro plate, but I bet the cops would harass me

Yes, you should should of seen the before, the gap was huge. I actually need to lower it more, I thought with spring settling there would be no wheel gap. Gotta adjust it though

The K Sports can go real LOW. You can pretty much tuck your front and rear tires with the correct offsets.
