Default tein flex coilovers.

I followed instructions on tightening em up, but when I turn the hex nut clockwise all the way then try to feel or hear for the "clicks" going counterclockwise there isnt anything.

I don't own a set but you could try calling them or if you're close, you could stop by:

Tein USA
9798 Firestone Blvd
Downey, CA 90241

(562) 861-9161

Gave em a call found out I didnt have a click assembly, just got it today amd installed it.per instructions, and it simply doesnt tighten when "clicking" clockwise to set at 0 and keeps going, clicks twice then free spins, then clicks twice and same thing over. Cant call tein till Monday as they are closed. Any body?

Sounds like they have been rebuild or tampered with if they don't click at all. You can click the adjuster by hand also. Don't need the hex adjuster (i never use it)

I think so, sucks cuz I could look for tein flex with edfc for around $1000 bucks, or rebuild mine at $400 (100 per damper) then whatever else is dam needs replacing have to pay for that as well so could be $1000.

I think you should get them tested first, as there might be no problem at all with them, you just have to count the turns now, instead of clicks

So you have got the shocks tested on a shock dyno? Counless times?

Even if you don't hear clicks, do the shocks get stiffer on not?
