Adjust the bilstiens?
Unless you have someone that does revalving of bilsteins. Adjusting by the end user is not feasible or recommeneded.
Send a PM to Wiisass on here. He is extremly knowledgeable on the Bilstein setups.

You can't adjust the ones that you have that came with your car. You can adjust the ones that you buy from Bilstein but that is just for ride height.
You have to take your under dash (under steering wheel) off and the part around your climate control and radio, and you should be able to get to everything then.
If you don't you won't be able to get to everything to take it apart.

It has a red top on either side of the top of the front suspension with the markings 1-5 and a tiny semicircle knob inside, the guy i bought the car of said he changed it to the least stiffest setting because it was too bumpy for him (he was in his 50's). I have been told by a few other turboA owners that the stiffness levels are adjustable via the top of the shock that is showing in my engine bay.
10 steps to removing the gauge cluster.
Remove in this order:

2. 4 screws inside the ashtray well
3. 2 screws on the console cover drivers side of the car. One is at the front of the console and the other is under the dash.
4. Remove stick shift knob or Automatic gear selector, (loosen the allen set screw)
5. Gently tug the console off from it's station, before removing it disconnect electrics
6. Unscrew the bezel above the gauge cluster
7. Remove 2 screws at either end of the gauge cluster bezel and remove bezel
8. Remove screws attaching gauge cluster (above the cluster itself)
9. Gently pull cluster straight out.

That looks like my TRD springs that I had on my car. and they came off a TTR JZA70.
You turn to clockwise ( higher number ) to stiffen and anti clockwise to soften. These are not made by Bilsteins. If you look at the bottom of the chock, they are Tokicos, 5 way adjustable rebranded for TRD.
You turn the inside and the red cap is to show what number its at. There should be a mark.
