How are you guys with Koni adjustable shocks getting to the top of the rear shocks to adjust them easily? Would it just be easier to get GAB shocks with the side adjuster?

Just need to modify one of the adjusters by cutting off some of the plastic lip that your fingers touch while turning. This will give you more depth to turn.

I can use the adjuster on the one behind the drivers side, the other side you have to rig something up, the knobs too big, I just pulled the plastic piece out of the middle and used a pair of pliers to turn it

I took the middle out of the Koni supplied knob and glued it into a socket, can't remember the size, and use a small ratchet. Works really slick.

For the rear struts, I had to shave mine adjuster knob down a bit, but then it fit right on. I don't know how you could reach it without any mod.

The shop that installed them told me I would have some problems adjusting the rears. But i got home to check it out, no problems at all. Not sure if was refering to past experiences or what. I have no problems though. I would pull the back seat down to take a closer look if your having problems.

thats weird, on one of my back ones theres no way to fit the whole width of the knob, the metal structure under the back shelf is in the way, even if the seats were down.
