Got the fronts put on today, took a ride on up to taco bell.
hahahahahhahahaha i love it.
Driver side was first and took 4 hours. Ended up saying screw it and cut through the stock spring to get it out of there.

Passenger side took less than 45 mins, poped off the tire, undid the strut tower, cut the coil spring, removed the bottom bolt and took it off, slid the new on in and put everything back

Will finish the rears tomorrow, could definatly tell the back was floating when the front was perfect.

Also took a right turn and stayed in the first most inner right lane, usually i get force into the second.

cut the old spring to relieve tension and get it out of there, rented a compressor and it was missing a part. Got the 3rd one down to about 25 mins

Default Question....

Can someone tell me how to know what settings my dampeners are at?

I just put them on and am not sure which way is increasing, which way is decreasing.
Which way do i turn to get to zero?

Is zero softest or hardest?

Turn clockwise till it stops. That's hardest. Turn counterclockwise, up to 16 clicks. 16 is softest. If you turn too far counterclockwise, you can damage the shock.
