Default Adjusting Tein coilovers ?

Can anyone quickly explain how to set them to a soft setting. Just imported a legacy and by christyflaps the suspension is hard.

I've got the adjuster tool (I think)

cheers

The adjuster tool is just used to adjust the ride height. To make the ride softer you have to adjust the damping,this is done by turning the screw in the middle of the top of the shock. This is usually covered by a little black rubber cap, which simply pulls off and pushes back on. I've got the Tein super streets on mine and they are a brilliant peice of kit, well worth getting them set up by professionals tho, as there is so much to adjust with regards to caster/camber.

Glad to help mine were set up by a local rally car specialist, good price too! Sounds like you've got it sorted. It'll make a hell of a difference on the handling of the car once their set. Loads of people spend a fortune buying them then don't bother to set them up and don't get the full benefit It'll be worth every penny!
