Rear Coilover Rebound Adjust?

Hello all,

I am using ST XA coilovers on my 220D for street and track use. Since front top mount is very easy to reach, i like to change the stiffness and try to find the best in track.

But of course i cannot reach rear top mount so adjusting rebound on rear is not even possible in track.

One of my friends cut a hole in the trunk of his 120D and can easily reach the rebound knob.

But i don't know where to cut or is it possible to reach top mount from trunk in F22.

Is there anyone who has an experience? I would like to hear your opinions!

Thanks in advance

It is possible. Kw v2
I have attached two pictures, hopefully give you the orientation installed in M240

KW sells extensions which install on top of shocks and can be adjusted inside the trunk.
I Drilled a 1/2 " hole from inside each rear tower.

Wow! Fast and great answer, thanks a lot for that.

I am not sure about drilling the tower, i am sad that it is not already drilled from factory. But i will talk with my mechanic to see if we can do it in a safe way.

If you drill through the body just make sure you use a rubber grommet to prevent moisture ingress.
