The manual says you should turn it full clockwise (i.e. to the hardest setting, I\'m sure mine got to a point it wouldn\'t go any further) then turn it back anti-clockwise 12 clicks to be standard.

does the kit include new bushes??? if so are they rubber or poly?

gonzoninja · February 15, 2007, 09:22:49 PM

I\'m not entirely sure cos I had fitted the superstreet originally WITHOUT top mounts, and you have to re-use parts.

Then when I had the top-mounts fitted I was on holiday, so I\'m not entirely sure what comes with it. However looking at the diagram on the back of the manual and rubber bushes for the suspension are included in the set.

i hope so cause i think my current ones might be a bit nackered

been looking to soften mine up,never got allen key/c spanners back when fitted.presume its the round bit under dust cover that alters hardness (has bit in top of it for an allen key ) - dont need an allen key to turn can do by hand - am i wrong here ? under round bit is a hexagonal nut - does this need turning as well :3Confused is it as easy as this just turn this round thing 8 clicks to soften to standard ?

yeah you should be able to turn the top bit where the allen key bit goes in, its not stiff or anything.

cheers - as simple as that ! doesnt seem to be enough effort to alter damping,checked was full to clockwise then turned back 8 clicks,couldnt believe so easy assumed i was wrong :Hammer

I\'ve recently had the Tein Flex kit fitted to my FD, found the ride a little hard until I remembered that I needed to adjust the damping. Found to be on the hardest settings, to dropped them back to +5 clicks from softest. Much nicer, but tempted the get the EDFC.

As soon as my cars back from having a rebuild im gona go ahead and get the Tein SS suspension with top mounts. I think some of the bushes are probably a bit nackered aswell do you think its probably also worth getting the Powerflex kit from re:worx and getting that done at the same time??? or am i probably goin a bit far?, below are the details
