Postby AllShowNoGo » Wed Jun 11, 2008 5:21 pm

Just installed the tein coilovers with trd RSB, all bushings and sway bar links and strut mounts and i noticed something odd. The coilvers state 16 levels of dampering yet i hear 26 ticks when i adjust them..

Any of you who have these i would love to here your input..

Also i didnt over torch them i adjusted them before putting them on the car..

hmmm...seems like I have 28 clicks starting from the extreme right (the stiffest setting). Not exactly sure, but maybe every 2 clicks equates to 1 level of dampening.

If it is anything like the JIC system, you can read this:

JIC Dampening Adjustment

It says theres 15 clicks and anything lower than that simply doesn't do anything.

I have both the front and the rear set on the hardest setting. I believe the instructions say to go all the way soft (left turn) and then back it off 10 clicks for the neutral setting. Double check the instructions if that's what you want.
