How do you instal g37X BC coilover extenders

So i bought these coilovers a while ago and was unable to instal the extenders in the rear, it didnt bother me till now.

Anyways the dampening **** on the coilovers is on the side rather then the top, and when i try and tighten the little hex screw, it just keeps turning till it falls out as the **** is too short. Anyone have experience?

you need to drill/bore a hole through inside your trunk and slide the cable in.

Which version did you get? The older BC's did have it at the top so you can put an extender and route it through the cabin (sedan) or trunk (coupe). The newer rear BC's just has the adjustment **** to the side, accessible from outside the vehicle. (i.e. no extension needed).

yes i have the one with the **** on the side, but in order to adjust i have to jack up the car and reach through the wheel well, there must be a way to attach the extenders to the side.

+1 i would also like to know this. it's kind of annoying having to jack up the car for the rears while the fronts are so easily accessible.

If Im not mistaken newer BC coils have the adjustment on the side of the strut, so adjustment is done through the wheel well not the top (interior of trunk) This is how my Megan coilovers were on my 370. If this is the case there is no need for extenders right?
