dropped car
just dropped my car today on tokico illuminas and skunk2 springs.... does anyone know how to adjust these "5-way" adjustable shocks without the red dial (i lost it)? Why do i feel every bump, and how can i tell if my shocks are blown?

call tokico and get another one.
you feel every bump probably b/c it is set all the way stiff.
if they are blown you'll be bouncing ALL OVER the place.

Re: dropped car (94hatchling)
Turn them to the left to get to the softest setting.
Each click = 1 point in damping.
5 turns to the right is the stiffest they'll go.
If it's still bumpy it could also be the crappy springrates of skunk2 springs.

No they were on illuminas.
And the springs I had were 275 FR 350 rear. Too soft for a 2.5" drop.
That's why i went with the H&R race. Same drop, but 400 FR 500 Rear
