Message Not literally how, what technique do you use? I thought it would be a piece of cake to adjust them but when the car is on the rack it's a nightmare. Seems like you'd need a stubby 28mm wrench or crows foot. I'm just guessing the size but I know the center adjustment barrel is massive with tons of shit in the way. Mine had been freshly taken apart, cleaned and lubed so I was able to just muscle them with my hand and a pair of channel locks at times but there has got to be an easier way. The car is driveable now but I'd like to get it corner balanced and don't want to go through the same alignment nightmare again.

The rear Powertrix stuff all worked fine and was easy to adjust with the exception of the muffler section interfering with 2 of 4 locking nuts on the toe rods. That probably isn't avoidable though.

SPL Coilovers and V3 Tension Rods were great in every way. Install and adjustability were a breeze. I'm so happy to have ended up with this set of coilovers. They are very streetable and far less bouncy than my previous KYB/Eibach set up. They are a heck of a lot softer riding than the KYB combo too. I have them on the softest setting now and I'd say they ride probably somewhere in between oem sport and touring.
