What does this do?

[Baz]

When I bought my car from Japan it came fitted with coilovers with "Aero" written on the side (anyone know what brand these are - Koni's I think?) On the front shocks where they connect to the mounting point inside the engine bay a thread protrudes through in the direct centre of the shock. On the top on this thread on 4 corners there are the numbers 1 through to four listed. A little white mark indicates what number it is on and it is adjustable with a flat head screwdriver. Anyone know what this does?

I'm guessing that this maybe changes the dampening of the coilovers on the front because as far as I can see so far there is no adjustment on the front for dampening while a small knob on the base of the rear shocks adjusts the dampening for the rear.

Cheers,

They aren't Konis, Koni uses a continuously adjustable foot valve. Sounds like a number of the generic Jap shocks, many of them have rebound damping changes with 4 click screw driver adjustment:cheers:

Im about 95% sure the shocks you have are GAB, as they sound the same as what a friend is running

i have a set of GAB's in the garage and have the same number system thing on the fronts and a turn knob/dial thingo on the backs

Possibly but the dampening rate doesnt seem to change with the click adjustment. Maybe its just me though.

What condition do they appear to be in, perhapos they are past their best.?!?!
