I have a set of D2 racing RS Coilovers and I'm going to be installing them soon. But I've reached a dilemma, installing the front Coilovers don't look too hard but getting to the rear struts to install the rear Coilovers is what's confusing me. How do I access the rear struts from inside and uninstall them?

You don't do anything inside. You need a long extension, like a foot long one to get to two 12mm bolts holding the strut in at the top of the wheel well.

It will be easier to take off (or enough to pull it back) the rear fender liner so you can get to the two 12mm bolts. Make sure you adjust your dampening before hand to what you want because you'll have to take out the whole thing to adjust it if you don't like it. I have mine at full soft and it feels great after settling.
