Default Help on how to adjust dampers

I have KYB G2's on my SC300 and I was wondering how you adjust the dampness? on them...and also, what exactly does that have an effect on? Thanks!

Simply put, dampening is an aid to how the strut handles bumps, stiffer or softer ride qualities.

As far as adjustments, there's usually ***** or screws that can be turned either on the top of the strut or the bottom. Not 100% sure on the KYB's though.

Gr-2 is non adjustable. They are pretty much oem replacements. The kyb AGX are the adjustable ones

Ok great thanks. Im pretty sure though that the G2s are adjustable though, on a website that sells them, they mention that is has that quality. Ill check though.

Then its probably a typo. GR2s are nonadjustable. AGX are adjustable.
