Adjustable HKS Shocks ?

Is it just a case of turning the bolt on top of the strut to adjust them or is there more to it than that ?

Hi Stuart,

 

Have uou got the HKS Adjustables mate or you looking to get them?

 

"Ammar"

SMW2 has got strut's and springs both HKS, but after looking last night the springs look really compressed like the previous owever have tried to adjust the shocks in such a way that the car is about 4" off the floor. Far too low and a really hard ride.

 

I wanna unwind the shocks so the spings actually work.

You need a long 3.5mm Alan Key, this is inserted into the top of the shock. From what I can remember (I don't have a manual) turning anti clockwise softens the suspenion and vicea versa.

 

My shocks allowed for 10 different positions.

I'm running 18" wheels all round.

I went 0 on the front and 4 on the rear.

 

I have no idea what the hex nut/bolt looking thing at the top of the shock does so I left it alone.

 

Cheers

Andrew

Thanks Mate I'll give this a shot tonight !

Not seen the HKS shocks so this is pure guesswork, but what AndrewG described sounded like adjusting the damping, not the ride height/spring length etc. Damping needs to approximately match the spring rate otherwise you could get all sorts of odd bouncy handling problems.

OK I'll try and get some confirmation I'm sure the skyline boys will have some HKS struts on their motors.
