6. Adjustment Guide

6.1. DampJustering (24 niveauer)

The coilovers feature 24 levels of damping force adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune your ride for various conditions. The adjustment knob is located at the top of the coilover.

• Niveau 0-8: Recommended for comfortable street driving.
• Niveau 9-16: Suitable for mountain roads or more spirited driving.
• Niveau 17-24: Designed for track use, offering maximum stiffness and control.

6.2. Højdejustering

The coilovers allow for 1-3 inches of ride height adjustment. This is achieved by rotating the lower mount on the threaded shock body. Use the provided spanner wrenches to loosen the locking collars, adjust the height, and then re-tighten the collars securely.

7. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your coilovers.

• Regelmæssig inspektion: Periodically inspect the coilovers for any signs of damage, leaks, or loose components. Check for wear on bushings and mounts.
• Rensning: Keep the coilovers clean from dirt, salt, and debris, especially the threaded sections. Use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
• Smøring: Apply a thin layer of anti-seize lubricant to the threads of the coilover body and locking collars to prevent seizing and facilitate future adjustments.
• Dust Boots: Ensure the full-length dust boots are intact and properly seated to protect the piston rod from contaminants.

8. Fejlfinding

If you experience issues with your coilovers, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Usædvanlige lyde (Klunken/Knirken):
  • Kontroller alle monteringsbolte for korrekt moment.
  • Undersøg bøsningerne for slid eller skader.
  • Ensure spring seats and locking collars are tight.
• Dårlig kørekvalitet (for stiv/for blød):
  • Juster damping settings according to Section 6.1.
  • Verify spring preload is set correctly.
• Ujævn kørehøjde:
  • Re-measure and adjust ride height on all four corners as per Section 6.2.
  • Ensure locking collars are securely tightened after adjustment.
• Utæt støddæmper:
