Wow, I just came across this thread. I installed mine a few weeks ago with the adjuster on the control arm. I used the DIY from my330i and it looks like he has it on the bottom, should I flip it? There's definitely no room to get the spanner wrench on the bottom for adjustment.
EDIT: my330i link: http://my330i.com/mod10b.php
The adjusters are different as you can see. I actually have the same one as the OP, but ordered the ones in the DIY from Turner because I thought I was missing an adjustment piece (since the originals only have a spring plate nut, and the others have a spring plate and lock nut). Which way do you guys think I do this?
DOUBLE EDIT: After some research, it looks like I have the Bilstein PSS kit as opposed to the PSS9 kit. They use 2 different rear perch setups (link). Looks like the ZHP is going up on jackstands tomorrow.
Apologies for the confusing thread bump, gents.
Capo di tutti capi
From my research.....most kits want the adjusters on the top. I had my KW V1's installed with the adjuster on the bottom, viewed this thread, looked at the directions for the KW's and sure enough.....needs to be on top, so I flipped it.
I will say I noticed zero difference.

Sorry havent been on to see this. I left the adjuster on top and honestly never used it with the wrench. After lifting the car in the air, Literally took 10 minutes to unbolt the shock and just remove the spring altogether and adjust from each side.

I swapped to the top after reading this. After adjusting them a few times over the weekend, I have the process down to a science, especially with Dane's tip in his coilover install of using the stock jack to get the spring out. Glad I found the thread though, much better on top
