can someone teach me how to adjust the Zeal coilover's stiffness?
I don't have a manual cause I bought the Function V6 01kg/8kg set used.
First of all, how can you tell what they're currently set at, then how do you adjust them? I'm new to this sorta thing and can't find any documentation on adjusting stiffness - just ride height.
what do you Zeal owners have yours set for? Mine isn't stiff enough. Better than stock, but I want stiffer
thanks

ok turns out one of the front shocks is missing the selector switch for stiffness. The other one has it.
Gotta turn it with a wrench and hope that the little nut is pointing in the right direction to know what it is...what I get for buying used hehe, but I can still select the setting
anyway, nevermind, delete thread
BTW you can barely adjust the rears. I have the brembo brakes with 18 inch rims. If I had the stoptech BBK in the rear, I'm not so sure I'd be able to adjust the suspension - might be possible, or if you have bigger than 18 inch wheels

yeah I'm running 4 in front and rear right now. I had 4F/3R but still felt the rear was bouncing around just a little too much.
I'll try 5F/5R next just to get a feel for it, but will probably end up going back to 4F/4R
I can't believe how much these coilovers have transformed the car! I'm usually veeeeery reluctant to give a mod the "holy sh**!!!" factor, but this one has gotten it from me

Yeah I'm doing 5/5 right now and am happy with that
gonna try 6/6 sometime just to see how that goes
there's still some play in the suspension, but I'm hoping the 350EVO bushings and control arms and rear rods and some GT spec braces will help some of that. If I still want more, I guess I'll have to look into getting the suspension switched to the 12kg/10kg version. I don't think I will need to change it to that though, it's riding pretty well as is.
