Re: tein flex?? (CDN Yellow ITR)
not sure if you got these with the edfc system. but if you did you need to switch out the gold inserts from the bottom of the adjusting valves. if you read the instructions on the edfc system there are two valve inserts gold and black. if i remember correctly the gold is to be used with the edfc, and the black if your not using the edfc.
basically the valves will turn a different amount depending on which valve insert you have inside.
no edfc system you want to make sure you have black valve inserts and not gold

AFAIK the gold/black inserts have little to do with how much the valving is adjusted 'per click'...
The gold ones needed for the motors are actually smaller (less tall) than the black ones, so I guess the 'alan key' which is the motor goes deeper into the shock than then manual counterpart (which you take off)...
But hte question was about how many clicks he can turn the things and yes, you can soften it up way too much (way more than the 16 clicks advertized) but I never even dared drive it like that... who knows what gets f-ed up because of it...
besides, 12F14R is soft enough for even my gf, so no need to go softer... DD for me is currently at 3F5R (trying different settings right now, to see what makes the car turn better)
For street driving (here in my neck of the woods in Europe) I'll most likely go back to 4F7R or something... I'm currently loosing grip in some bumpy corners right now
