Tein Flex question.

I bought a set of used Tein Flex coilovers. How does the shock adjustment work? If I turn the adjustment counter clockwise until it stops what setting would that be, firm or soft? Tein CS isn't answering calls yet so I was wondering if anyone knows if I can get a new manual from them?

Thanks,
Jason

Well after 6 pages and roughly 75 threads I have found nothing telling me that if I turn the adjustment counter clockwise I will get a stiffer or softer damper. So since you seem to know why not just tell me?

Thanks for the links. It seems me and the search here do not jive. I can't seem to use the correct keywords here on CL. Every other forum I use (Corvetteforum, SVTperformance, ZR1registry and so on) I can get what I am looking for within five threads. But not here.

This is by far the most popular reply here on CL.

I have the flex kit and to me it doesn't matter what setting it's on, I can't feel a difference from full soft to full hard at all.

But full hard is all the way clockwise (to the right)

soft is to the left.

there's the link from the TEIN website for the instruction manual, all the info you need should be in there, if I remember correctly
