Hi guys,

My GTS-t arrived with some Tein shocks that are extremely stiff and I was hoping to be able to soften them up alittle. I have taken a few pics of the top of the shock where there appears to be a bolt with a locking nut that can be adjusted. Im not sure exactly what this bolt does. Can anyone tell me if this bolt will adjust the dampening of the shocks or is it for something else.

As ToF said, they're not adjustable.

Another option would be to sell them to someone that would be doing mainly track work and needs stiffer suspension, and get yourself a set of Tein Super Street coilovers which are softer and designed for Australian roads.

that's not a bolt. it's the top of the piston. it looks like that so you can grip it with a spanner to stop it turning whilst you are unscrewing the nut about the top spring seat.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
