That's pretty much how most are designed. Otherwise, you'd have to crawl
under to do your adjustments? Yuck! If you want a non-adjustable situation,
go to "brake pressure regulators" indtead. Or better yet, find a load
sensitive version which automatically adjust the rear pressure depending on
the load. Most 85-later Golfs and Jettas had this IIRC. Even my lowly 88 Fox
wagon had one.
