I've read that the front shocks are adjustable and lowering them may improve the ride. My question is; what is the procedure for adjusting them? Do I disconnect the lower mounting allen bolt or leave the shock attached?

Most tool/part stores have spanner wrench, I think I got mine at Auto Zone.
Tomg... It is a different shock. If you look at the old configuration, they use top hats in the bushings, and the bump stop is yellow on the new shocks. The new shocks are used on the front and on the rear of the 2013. On the older models the shocks were different on the rear (and much stiffer.) The new configuration is so much more comfortable, and is not difficult to upgrade.
