Ive got the rsx kit... i have no idea if the damper adjustment is the same on urs but if it is then at the top of the dampers on both front and rear theres like a lil nut that u can turn with a socket / spanner to change the setting.

At the bottom of the REAR dampers their is a little screw. adjust it by using a flat-blade screwdriver one way is hard the other way is soft. Did you not get any manuals in the kit?

second hand chief
well - its never been on a car but its not direct from a supplier
ill just use a spanner on the front and driver on the rear. The way the adjuster on the rear is set up though it looks like a special tool is needed
Ill do it by trial and error anyway - cheers

they are all adjustable by 28 increments so put each shock on fully hard or fully soft then click them "X" amounts in the opposite direction

Yeah you just want to turn the little screw on the rears not the whole housing... I find 6clicks from soft were best on my rears but its all personal choice at end of day... Good luck mate any more probs U2U me as ive had the PSX kit before...
