got my kit put on today, perfectly obvious how to adjust the rears.
The front ones are a different story as only a few threads then the top of the assembly poke out the top of the strut. I could turn it with a spanner but I get the impression it will only raise/ lower the body through the strut top as opposed to adjust the dampner for firmness
Would this work? I presume its the only way to do it but it doesnt seem to be right for some reason
I didnt get instructions or the adjuster tool supplied with the kit
cheers

you should have a little white knobly thing (adjuster) with the kit. other wise i dont see no problem with using a spanner as long as you dont chew the bit up...

not a very good picture but in case you didnt know which way you needed to turn it.

anti-clockwise to firm it

hmm
wonder where i can get one of those
a spanner is probably just as good but one of them would be useful
cheers again
