i just got my tein-ha coilovers installed on my car today, the ride is absolutely awesome. before i only had springs and i think it was the biggest difference i have felt on my car so far. i have the settings close to the stiffest and i thing it still rides smooth and handles very well especially on high speeds. does anyone know how to use the damper settings? im not really sure how to adjust them.

I think you do it inside the trunk. Take the liner out - the shock towers are right there.

Yeah, you have to take the liner out. They have 2 plastic screws on each side. You may need a tool to help you remove those or you can just use your hands to pull them off (like me). HAHA.

Once you remove the liner, you can see the strut.

racingaristo,
how do you like your tein-ha's? i really like them because they are stiff but not too stiff.

I havent had my trunk liner in my car since about a week after I got my coilovers. I took it out and never put it back in. I like being able to easily adjust the damper and I really dont care about the aesthetics of my trunk.
