Default Anyone know how to adjust HKS Coilovers?

Really appreciate some help. Just installed HKS RS coilovers and looking to stiffen the back end up. I know you adjust it from the top, but have no idea of what to do. I have some HKS turn *****, but don't know how to get the **** on the top mount or which direction softens or stiffens. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It should say on the top of the **** about which way is tighten and which is soften...
You should have 3 *****, 1 for the front 2 that you take off and put in the car, the other 2 mounts on top of the rears, which it have a hex screw to mount it... and it can move around so it can hide behind the carpeting of the trunk.

at least that's how the HKS RS is on mine...

don't you have the install manual? it says on there.

i dont believe its says anything on the ***** but "HKS".

to do the rears, pull the 2 carpet plugs from the trunk, on each side to expose the top of the mounts. your coilovers shoud have included 1) adjustment *****-2 pcs, 2) black tubes-2 pcs, 3) really small screws-2 pcs, and 4)the allen wrench.

here is a crash course for the rears:
-in the trunk pull the carpet lining
-use 1 small screw to tighten the **** to the mount tip
-adjust.

*you can cut holes into your trunk carpet and leave the ***** installed or just remove them after you're done. if you decide to leave them in, you can use the black tubes provided for cosmetic reason as well. GL!

use the short *****(should have 2 of them) to adjust the rear. the long one is for the fronts.

clockwise- stiff
counter clockwise- soft
click clockwise as far as it goes and then one click back counter clockwise is the stiffest setting.
30 clicks counter clockwise from the stiffest setting is softest setting.
hope this helps
