on tein coilovers which direction does the damping clicker tighten/soften etc
and is it safe to have the locking rings height anywhere in the threaded section or is there risk of topping out etc
cheers

most coilovers are clockwise to stiffen anti ti sofen. tighten them one way then take the car out would be the easiest thing to do.
With regards to the treading just make sure that when the shock is at its longest travel (jack the car up and let the wheel pull the shock as far down as it will go) the spring cannot move it must be tensioned in that respect. otherwise if you go over a big bump and spring can move it could easily become dislodged and thats the last think you want.
cheers, i will check that when i fit them, they have helper springs so even at the lowest setting i cant seem to get them to become loose, if you get what i mean.
due to problem i wont be able to fit them for a week or so until i get one of the coils fixed.
No worries, helper springs are a good thing for the road they help reduce stress on the over all unit.
