Or maybe I'll do one adjustment and slightly turn towards soft. But I don't even know - I might just be overstating it based on the half an hour drive back home. I think I need to drive it a bit more to confirm - and the best part of it is that the wife drove the car to work this morning and hasn't complained yet about the stiffness, so maybe it's not too bad.
yea if i were in the same situation, i probably wont touch it either. i guess i was lucky mine only involved removing of the wheel then i could use the special KW wrenches to adjust the ride height, damping and rebound. the rears would require pulling back of the carpet to get to the top of the knob on top of the shock but that wasnt too bad either. no metal covering the top of the shock, just carpeting.
