with KYB's you can adjust dampening, not ride height. (unless you have coil overs of cource)

will need a flat head screwdrivers. (small head) the adjustment "button" is located on top. make sure to push IN and THEN turn. 1-4 - let go when when the desired # is in match with the white dot .
1:being the softest.
4:being the stiffest.

*note the shocks will not raise the height *coilovers*will.

thanks alot for the adjustment for the front shocks. But how do you adjust the rear shocks too? My rear shocks have a turning indicator that reads 1-8, with an arrow pointing at the set number.
