Hi,

was just wondering how the dampening system works on Tein HA's. Whilst on the car, do you turn the pin at the top clockwise or anticlockwise for a "softer" ride?? Is it supposed to click or just turn like a normal screw thread??

Need help urgently as my shocks are so bloody stiff atm.

Anticlockwise for softer, clockwise for harder. Adjusting the rebound damping may not help, Teins usually come with rediculously high spring rates.

:rolleyes: cheers :rolleyes:

Mmmm they do seem to be rediculessly hard....is there any specific tool which should be used to adjust these pins at the top?

Mine do not click it just rotates like a screw thread.... What could this mean?

How can you tell whether ur coil overs are in need of reconditioning??

Cheers for the help so far...

I seriously doubt that 1 click if noticeable to the human bum... but then my ass is not sensitive :P

Umm, maybe the spring that makes it "click" has gone... could be that you're just screwing it instead of clicking? Try wind it all the down and see if it makes a difference?

mate I had this issue with the HA adjustment nut turning under its own steam....

fix:-

tighten the lower part that is the nut to the shaft....

once that is tight, hold the seperated part at the top and turn it.... it should now click as long as the lower part does not free up :O

simple...

thanks satanic...will adjust mine this weekend.They are super hard so im hoping they have some adjustment left in them for a softer ride.

I never got mine with upper pillow ball joints-is anyone else using them?

what does the adjustment do for handling?

those ones in the pic above don't look like HA to me. HA usually have a little nurled adjusting 'knob' on the top with a little rubber cap that goes over it. yours look like the non-adjustable type. do you have a more close up pic of the strut top?

yeah he could have lost the caps (i lost two on my old car) but usualy under the caps is a round, nurled knob (with a hex type fitting on top). his one has the flat sided tops. they don't look damper adjustable to me.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
