What is the correct way to adjust Tein Suspension??
Turn all the way right, and then count the clicks back?? or go all the way left and then count the clicks going right??
Tein says if you go back 16 youll break them, how do i know if i went pass????

GiFF

always...

turn all the way right, which is hardest setting. (clockwise)

then you turn left. (counterclockwise) [up to 16 clicks to the left and no more, the rest is past 16 soft, i recommend not doing that]

each left click is softer one setting.

i always went from left then to right, i hope my struts are messed up

guy above is right from talking directely to tein and reading the manual for the HA's

fowler!

I've heard that the empty 6 clicks were on the stiffer side, rather the soft side??

Asahi

I would be 8 empty clicks and call TEIN USA. They will explain they are on the soft side not the stiff side. I called them about a month ago when we were posting about this.

HA manual. GO to page 6 (7 of 10 in adobe)

Full clockwise is the stiffest. Dont forget you are on setting 16.

15 clicks counterclockwise is the softest setting or setting 1.

Start from the stiffest and count your way bay, always remember you are on 16 when you start.

smnowell

Full clockwise is the stiffest, which is like 21!! TOO FAR!! What I do (which is what i believe is right) is turn them all the way counterclockwise until they stop, then i turn clockwise to make them stiffer. PKEK (member of this board) does the same as me.

GiFF

well, i already posted the answer, and so did asahi.

stop confusing people.

u can do whatever u like, but what i mentioned above is the correct way. going beyond the 16 softest setting might damage the shock.

fowler!

That would explain why it's been so soft lately. Sheesh.

Thanks for the info

Asahi

Believe what you want. I would let PKEK see this thread and decide for himself. You read page 6 of the instructions yet?

FifthGearOnline

You can have the shocks revalved to 22 way adjustable, thats why there are six extra clicks

We are a TEIN distriubtor and from what they told us.....all their coilovers are 16-way adjustable. Some click 20-22 times, but those clicks have nothing to do with making the damper rate stiffer/softer. If you over click, the allen screw might or will break. All you need to do is replace it. For setting stiffness, I was told to go back to soft from whatever setting you set it at before, then adjust the stiffness you want. What I don't get is when I mess with the EDFC at work, I don't see it setting back to 0. It just jumps to the memorized setting(s).

did anyone turn the rod when installing thier teins?

my passanger rear only clicks when off the car as soon as i reinstall it it dosnt click

also did anyone shake thier shock before installing it? did u hear a liquid sloshing inside the shock body? i did is it normal?

Man who you guys using as a supplier for your "Authoized TEIN's" If you call TEIN USA and ask them they will tell you to turn them FULL STIFF and count back. I have spoken with them on many occassions and they are very cool about questions and will help you. (562-633-7387, 7631 Somerset Blvd Paramount CA 90723 U.S.A.). Also read the manual that comes with one of your authorized sets and it even says to turn it full stiff around page 6-8.

The correct way has been posted 10 times above.

Daryl_SP

We are an authorized TEIN USA distributor. I will double check with them again. I remember one of the old sales guys there told me to turn full soft. Either way, the EDFC doesn't seem to adjust full soft/stiff before going to memorized setting.

Asahi

Definitely double cheack with them.

I have never used the EDFC kit so I can't help much with it or give any input. It sounds like a cool system but I am too lazy to run all that wiring though my car.

-Whitey-

it says for a 94-01 integra turn them full stiff(clockwise) if they arent from the factory, mount them on the car, set the front back 6 and the rears back 8 from full clockwise. Full clockwise is the hardest setting on your damper i have ss's so they are 16 way so full clockwise is #16 and back 6 would make it #10 a medium hardness. the first few before #1 are there because you can have them revalved and they will be adjustable from 1-24 settings. right now they are useless unless you have the expensive ones

Daryl_SP

I will double check with TEIN. At the time, I was interested in getting some RA's for my car so I asked them about damper adjustments. I don't do sales at SP, so it was just for my info. As for the EDFC, thing that sucks about it is you cannot run certain strut braces. Although TEIN does plan on releasing their own strut brace.

-Whitey-

i was just gonna reply tein should make more products like strut bars,tie bars,strong bars,and sway bars,lca's,camber kits,roll cages, hahah i just like the color gren they use and think it would be cool if i had alot of green parts on my car

I played with the EDFC unit at a store and I clearly remember it going to full stiff every time you turn it on, then it will count back to your setting.
