Default H&R race w/tociko illuminas

i just got h&r race spring w/tociko illumia shocks i got the race spring that is supposed to drop it 2 inches in the front but it seems more due to the shocks. my question is that why is my car so bouncy when i hit a bump. i tried adjusting the shocks w/ an alley wench but its still the same, is it suposed to make my ride smooth, if so its not working which way do i turn the alley wrench to make it handel good and a smooth ride let me know

As far as I know tokicos have never adjusted with an allen wrench.... A little screwdriver is all you should need...

Also when adjusting 1= soft, 5=hard...

bouncy means underdampened.

Are you sure you didn't get sold stock shocks. I am unaware of any shock that uses an allen key to adjust.

hmm, sounds like the adjustment **** fell off?

Your best bet would to keep moving it in one direction. After each click, push down on that side and see where its the stiffest.
