BC Racing BR-type Coilovers - Rear Extenders not compatible for F30?

For BC Racing BR-type Coilovers - I heard that the Rear Extenders that they offer to make rear damper adjustments easier (so that you don't have to jack up the car and take off the wheel to make the adjustment) are not compatible for the F30. Can someone confirm this for sure?



I was hoping to do something like this on my F30 ...

unfortunately the adjustment knob is on the rear shock its self, you have to take the wheel off to adjust the dampening, no way around it.

Thanks for the quick reply - odd that they offer this option on their coilovers for some cars, but not others...

Pain in the butt to have to jack up the car to do this, esp on a lowered car.

Can any of you guys provide some tip that would make adjusting the rear height easier. I find that it's super challenger working the perch to raise or lower. Thanks!

I haven't done it yet, but my installer said that i just need to move the two lock ring nuts upwards/downwards to adjust the ride height in the rear.

But now you got me curious as well...

Is it just the awkward positioning/clearance you are concerned about, having enough room to manuver? Or something else...
