Default cheap way to make a STaSIS adjustment tool -->

Last night, I made it from an extra screwdriver. You can see the hole that I drilled when I did the suspension install to reach the top of the shock:

Default The early versions do.

Most of the kits out there were built in 2003 and beyond. Those have the concentric shaft dampeners...where the adjustment **** is on the end of the piston. This shock requires you to drill a hole through the body of the car in order to make changes to the rebound as shown.
