i did the opposite to minimize body roll and since our cars are front heavy (more oversteer)

Yeah. Did your set come with little extender thingies you hook up on the top and did you put them on before you installed the rear set? I believe some Z owners usually make little holes to have easy access to them from the trunk. If you did not have those little extending pieces you would need to somehow access the top of the coil to adjust.

There should be extended adjusters that run into the trunk if they were installed. Otherwise you'll have to jack up the car, remove the wheel, reach to the top of the strut, and adjust them that way.

With holes not in the plastic shock tower covers you are going to have to remove the 3 plastic trim pieces in the hatch to gain access to the adjusters. The rear piece comes out first, then you can remove the sides. Do a search to explain how its done.
