Default Carrosser Suspension

I have just had fitted a set of Carrosser Coilovers. I bought them second hand, I believe that this is the higher spec suspension from Cusco ? After getting them checked and fitted i have found that they are far too hard !!!! However the car handling is now amazing ! They are fully adjustable but i am unsure how far you can soften them ? Has any one else had any experiance with Cusco coilovers or the Carrosser range of suspension ?

going in from the bottom

quite awkward when they're on the car but when you look from the bottom up, you can see a small adjusting nut. mine are set relatively soft and they're still firm!

just managed to get myself some low mileage P1 suspension for much cheapness, can't wait to get them fitted.

Iam thinking about going along the same line as you, possibly some sti suspension. However Id like to try and soften these up a bit to see if I could live with them. Ive found that adjustment point now, cheers ! Do you know how far you can adjust them, will it just stop adjusting and not completley screw out ? I dont want them popping out if i adjust it too far ! I know this can happen with Tein. Thanks again for lettting me know about that adjustment point !

i tightened mine up too the point it was like driving on bricks, then gave a couple of turns the opposite way too soften it up. i know its not the totally correct way of doing it but it worked o.k.

i didn't want to keep turning it in case it did just pop out.
