Default tein cs-t dampening frustration. searched.

I've searched a few time and made a thread (in the wrong section) and got MANY answers. My question is, without edfc..how do I know what stiffness my dampening is at. I've been told it will stop turning once you hit 0 and 16, i've been told it will stop once you hit 0 and will go past 16, ive been told it will spin freely both ways, and ive been told to spin it counterclockwise until it stops.

NM, got it.

I dont speak japanese if calling them would be anything like reading the instructions that come with them . Im pretty sure I got it thought. CCW is softer and CW is stiffer correct?

Think of it like a faucet.

Full CW until it stops is fully closed, so the dampening pressure is full hard.

Turning CCW up to 16 clicks opens the valve allowing pressure release which is full soft dampening.

Though you "CAN" turn more then 16 clicks CCW, DO NOT DO THIS as this is more pressure release then Tein warrants and I suppose there is a potential to blow out the shocks.

Always reference 16 clicks from the Full hard position, then go no more than that.
