anyone know how to adjust HKS coilover ??

I'm having some problems with adjusting my HKS Hipermax LS+ coilover for my G35C.

I'm trying to adjust the damping rate for the front and the rear.

the rear is quite easy to adjust.

but I have some problem with the front part. It needs the wrench to do it.

but when I use the wrench to move click rate, I can't here the clicking sound so I can't figure out how many clicks I moved.

how many clicks are there for 1 round? 3 or 5 I guess?

and also...if I want to set up 10 stiffness, should I count it from the full soft which is full counter-clockwise or from the full hard which is clockwise??

it is easy to hear the clicking sound from the full soft
but it is hard to hear the clicking sound because of the squizzing noise from the bolt

Do...........not............understand, you just contradicted yourself.


Best advice is start from full soft, then turn the wrench the appropriate number of clicks towards hard. In your case that would be 10.

oh..I mean

from the soft..I can hear the clicking sound

but from the full hard it's very hard to hear the clicking sound because of the some cracking noise from the bolt.

So I tried to do it from the soft because it's easier, but some say that it should be done from the full hard.

if you know the total amount of clicks it does not matter from which way you adjust it.
