KW V2 rebound setting questions

Hi all. I just recently installed the KW V2 on my m235i. At the moment, I have the rebound level at the KW recommended setting (both front and rear 9 clicks open [from the hardest setting, turn 9 clicks counter-clockwise]). I will have an alignment done in a few days to let the suspensions settle in first.

So far, in the recommended rebound setting, I definitely prefer the KW's over the stock. I felt the stock ride was too brash and too bouncy. The KW's is a little bit more firm, but it doesn't bounce much. I'll get the alignment done and drive it a bit more before giving a more thorough review.

Anyways, I have 3 questions concerning the KW:
1) For those who have the V2, what are your rebound settings? I am thinking of setting the front and rear to 11 clicks open for a more comfortable ride.

2) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only way to adjust the rear rebound is to remove the shock??? If so, this definitely sucks. I always thought I could adjust the rebound in the rear without removing the shocks.

3) If I do remove the rear shocks to adjust the rebound, is it necessary to do an alignment again?

Thanks guys in advance. I'll give a more thorough review once I get an alignment done.
Cheers
