tein coilovers, trying to lower my car
i as trying to lower my car, this question might sound stupid, this weekend i tried to lower my car, i had 20s on before have 18" for the winter.
when you lower the car, on tein coilovers are we suppose to turn clockwise( going up)/(compress the springs) or we are suppose to go anticlockwise.
i figured i was suppose to go clockwise and that had alot of thread but now it looks i have even more gap between wheels? -thanks

with the car on jackstands withoutthe wheels on, lowering and raising the height is easy. dont do it with the car sitting on the ground .
Measure the threads or count the revolutions. easy.

I just got my CS-T's in today and have a couple questions as well since im not japanese nor can I read their characters. When you guys say clockwise/counterclockwise, are you refering to the top disc? or both? The picture in the directions so both pieces being spun opposite directions.
And how do I tell what level the dampening is set at? is does it stop adjusting once you hit 1 or 16? If so, which way (CW or CCW) is stiffer and softer?
