Default Tein's-Just got em' but....

Finally got a set of Tein CS coils . Bought them used from the forum for a great price,has about 12k on them. Might have a problem though... After I took a good look at them I noticed on one of the (front) coils,the **** used to adjust the stiffness is missing. Called lexusscturbo and asked him about it and said he would look into it since he was selling it for a friend. In the mean time, wanted to find out if that missing **** a big deal or can I just interchange them or buy one?

Suggestions please

I too am wondering why the hell they are missing
They were used for no more than 18,000 miles... He had em for about a year and a half on his car (and thats giving the mileage on the high side)...........
So I'm sure its like 15,000 realisitic miles or less. I know there are a bunch of CS owners here..
On my JICFLTA2's made by ZEAL I had on a prior car the screw came off to adjust the damping strength...

David aka Ay-Nako knows his way around footwork/suspension; Another way you can completely avoid using the click ***** is by getting an EFDC system..I think Tein sells them because people who get EFDC's manage to lose the little ****.

An edfc would be nice, but with needing new tires and other mods spending another $200-$300 on one is just not an option right now.

Just as an FYI, as far as replacement parts for Tein coils. http://www.tein.com/online_shop/wrench.html Why didnt I go here first . I relied on the forum versus searching on my own. Thats what happins when CL is your "Home Page"

GS is getting dropped this weekend....
