KW V3 extended adjusters - Page 2

loworbitSI · 05-23-2008, 07:53 AM

My rear seat is only secured via the middle clip, and I can pull the left and right side cushions away and reach back to acquire access to the adjusters. An extended solution would be appreciated, as well as an easier way to access the front lower adjustment.

Ditto....I leave a hex key in the top of each rear T2 and the seat clipped only in the middle....

They have never slipped out. The metal does conduct a little more sound from the coilovers. The additional noise is worth it for the ease of adjustment as far as I am concerned. Other than that, there is no downside.

Bump for this! I could of really used some of these this weekend for my T2's

pinkertonpunk · 06-15-2008, 07:23 PM

Subscribed! Would love to actually hook in the corners of my seat so the car doesn't look broken through the rear window....

pinkertonpunk · 07-25-2008, 05:57 AM

Any update on these RCE? Getting sick of fishing around for the rear top adjuster hole at events....

Thanks!

While KW has been slow to respond, I found a kit of 10 T handle allen keys that includes a 2mm version. The handle is the perfect length for the rear seat. I contacted the company and await a quote for JUST the single 2mm units. This would allow for the handle to reach thru X braces and the seat in a nice neat manner.

I do need some help though. Can someone tell me the exact length needed to sit in a perfect position above the seat but not sticking out?

You get that set I showed you? I'd want another inch or two on that for better clearance.

Myles - 2mm hex stock into a short alum bar that's been bored for it and a set screw to make the t-handle.

yeah I was thinking that too, but have been so busy with other things I wanted a turn key thing. Let me see what I can come up with.

This is what I have been using -- no issues yet:

EKLIND 54920 T-HANDLE HEX KEY 2MM 9'' ARM CUSHION

This might work: Allen 2mm Cushion Grip T-Handle Hex Key, 6 inch length - Model 57841 at Sears.com

So that first one sticks up over the seat back and you can fully clip the seat in place? I have been using that 6" one to adjust them from ACE but it sure isn't long enough to stick up over the seat back. It is frustrating just sticking it down in there and blindly fishing around for the adjustment hole.

Yes, they stick out with enough clearance to easily adjust with the t-handle. Most people who take to browsing the back seat area from outside the car don't even notice them. The only time they have fallen out is when I've strong armed the seat cushion. They could even be cut down a bit for a more flush look.
