[Mk2] [Generic] Tein Type Flex Coilovers?

[eurosmith]

Is anyone else running these on their mk2?

If so does anyone know how to change the damping settings on them? I know its to do with the small hole in the top of the shock absorber itself but do you wind the allen key in, out? take it out competely and adjust internally?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers in advance,

not sure bud, going do this myself, just got my spanners today though to change the ride height

where about it staffs are ya?

Are your's pretty firm too? Not sure if it's more to do with spring rates myself but i bought the car with them fitted and lowered and i'm unsure if i can "soften" the damping slightly. Certainly would help with the state of the roads now the snows gone

I'm from norton canes near cannock and lichfield, whereabouts are you based mate?

from stoke on trent mate not far away was dating a girl from down your way late last year, i try keep away from that end of town, was on the chase one night when with the girl i was dating when three blokes come from behind the tree`s with there zips down, scared the hell out of me lol


think you soften the damping on top not had chance have a good look at mine yet i want to stiffen mine up a bit more

mine is pretty solid though not sure what settings there on though

im not 100% sure though as i think you can use the cogs too on the trut itself but you will need the spanners for that

Haha, cannock chase is the midlands dogging hotspot dude! It's pretty shocking up there sometimes.

I don't have the c spanners but i'm pretty sure a set of grips will sort the collars out, i've replied on your topic "which teins are these?" i'm gonna start by taking practically all of the preload off the springs all round whilst jacked up and go from there, i understand performance coilover setups are firm but mine is ridiculous - it makes grit feel like speed bumps!

Let me know if you work out the damping adjustment routine too as i don't have the click tool i keep reading about.

well i brought a set of 2 mate off ebay thinking they were different sizes, turns out there the same size so dunno why they sell them as a pair

im going see blz sunday change my exhaust, but if your still playing the week after i dont mind bringing the spanners over try on yours if you need them

[eurosmith]

Yea that sounds good to me mate if i don't sort it this saturday by all means come and gimme a chuck , don't spose you attend the mids meet do ya bein quite far away?

[nitric4k]

which mids meet? one down cov way uor the one on a wednesday night?

have a read of that mate its not for the monoflex but i think its the same??

[eurosmith]

Cool, that's what forums should be about tbf, didn't know there was a coventry meet either so i'll look into that one - I know about the wednesday night one in kidderminster which was last night i think - might try and get out to it next month.

What exhaust are you swapping over to then?

From what i can gather looking at that PDF file my fronts must be set to the softest damping setting as when i turn the allen key screw anti-clockwise it simply threads out of the shock itself.
