Bazzagt4 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Afternoon Folks, I have a set of HKS coilovers fitted to my Soop and was curious about any adjustment. I havent any sort of instructions so dont even know if you can adjust the stiffness but came across this hole in the top that accepts an Allen key and turns with a definate click. I dont want to go spinning them round as I dont know which way I should be turning. The front are different again and dont appear to take an Allen key. Any help would be great Rear top Front top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hi Bazza, Should be a 3mm allen key I think, full anti clockwise is soft and full clockwise is stiff, should be 16 clicks from memory, front and rear are adjustable. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I might have a spare one at work, not back there until 5th Jan now though, remind me nearer the time and I'll have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If you force the adjusters at either extreme end of their travel you can VERY EASILY knacker the valve inside, effectively scrapping them. If any don't appear to have a definitive end to their rotation, this is what will have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
