Default Confused on Tokico Adjustment

I'm having issues with understanding how to adjust my Tokico D-Specs. I bought these off a member so no install instructions. From reading other threads it appears as though all you should need to do is insert a hex wrench but I don't see where to adjust them.

Yep. Just twist off that cap on the 2nd pic and insert the adjustment tool. Be careful not to drop the cap in the engine bay once the shocks are installed though.

I installed the rear shocks last night because of the ease, but was suprised when driving to work today. My fenders are rolled just enough to clear but with the settings I had the Tokicos on the drivers side would rub on a hard right.

I have them set one full turn left from clockwise lock, so I thought it would be stiffer?

Yea, that should be right. Right --> Stiffer. Left <--- Softer. What kind of springs do you have? Installing shocks shouldn't make anything "rub".

GF210's. It may be stiffer but maybe because of the Dspec adjustabilty changing, the rebound is now softer than it was for stock? That's the only reason I could think of. Probaly just need to roll the fender a bit more.

Did it rub before you put on the shocks? Or did you put springs + shocks at the same time?

Springs were already installed before shocks.
