DOES ANYONE HERE RUN THE 98 SPEC N1 COILOVERS.... IF YOU DO, HOW DO YOU ADJUST THE DAMPENING.... HELP.....

 

i used to have them. to adjust you stick the special tool which is really a hex key down the top of the shock and turn clockwise is stiffer.

 

I tried that but it didn't want to move.... their is a 14mm nut on top of the valve stem or shock body does that need to be loosed first befor turning with the hex key ?

 

nah. it should just turn without having to do anything just turn it harder

NO. You need a LONG 2.5mm allen key. It goes inside of there to another part you can't see visually. Leave that 14mm nut alone! Use the 2.5mm allen key to turn the dampening setting. All the way cw is full stiff. I think 16 clicks from that is full soft. Although it will go more clicks beyond that. It is noticable - so much so that for daily driving I leave it on full soft. At autox and track days, I put all 4 corners to full stiff.

Good luck, and if you need more help try searching in the archives for "n1" and my screen name. I had several threads about these coilovers.

 

tight ...... thanks for the info..... i went to the drags the other day and was getting some mad wheel hop. I was thinking that if i softened the shocks it would help... any opinions.... ???? I did run 12.45 at 116 on street tires.... with a 2.14 60 ft.

 

Which N1's are we talking about? Apex? Tein?

 

Apex ....

 

Yeah, what Black R said. I have them and that is how I did it.
