Coilovers Adjustable?

[calaistur]

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.

Non-adjustable unfortunately. I doubt you could get the "ride" dramatically softer from damper or rebound adjustments anyway, ride usually depends on the spring rate.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

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.

OK - thanks for the info guys.

Can I ask what the bolt is for then? It obviously turns, so it must do something. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Justin

or you could look at the whiteline/bilstein shock and spring combo group buy... up to you on what you prefer

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.
