I doubt either works by now. But, I believe it would be both. IIRC, the rear doesn't have as much of a change as the front. I'd have to look at the Yamaguchi book again to be sure.

the shocks were replaced when the previous owner had the car, at 60xxx, so they have about 100xxx on them.

and the switch box was cut out, and i dont know if there are even turning.
could i just remove the actuators and turn the top screw to full stiff on all four.

Are you sure he put adjustable shocks back in the car? I can't see why he would pay all that money for OE shocks just to tear out the control unit...

And yes, you can remove the actuators and adjust them manually.

*shudders* The second owner is a I'm sorry for you on that one. The last person to own my car was the same. Except he sprayed my interior red.... I guess I'm just lucky there wasn't a giant wing duct taped to the back of the car when I got it!
