How to adjust KW Variant Coilovers

I'm considering the KW coilovers. Once they are on the car, how do you adjust compression and rebound? Any manuall screen shots? I can't seem to find this info.

I can understand how you would have access to the top of the front struts, but what about the rear ones?

the **** clicks, so you turn them the same # of clicks.

the rears, if theyre the same as my JICs, you have to unbolt the rears and adjust the ****.

oh - and I'm wanting to know how to control compression and rebound after the install - not to lower. I'm assuming you will set them to the desired drop, install, then play with compression and rebound. I thought I read somewhere about someone putting the rear ***** in the trunk.
