I\'m led to believe that I have Cusco fully adjustable supension

I want to raise the suspension a touch so the skirts don\'t scrape on my driveway and am cosidering softening it up a touch because the CD jumps eveytime I go over rough patchs

the dials on the struts are all set at 1 ( 1-4 on the dial ) , if there are only 4 settings does this mean that if I turn them up to 2 it will be alot softer ? I only want to alte it a bit as I don\'t want to affect the handling too much

How do I go about raising the suspension ? do I need any special tools or measuring equipment to check its the same on each corner or am I better just going to a specialist ?


Finally tuned - 317.3rwhp :burnout (thats 374.4fwhp for those who like bigger numbers)

Normally the numbers go up, the harder it gets.

As for raising it, you need a couple of C spanners to split the adjuster rings, wind the top one up then tighten the lower up to that.

Just remember the amount of turns that you do. ;)

i have cusco fully adjustable suspenision as well, sounds the same, cant remember if mines is at 1 or 4 but its bloody hard and low, i found the original spanner in the car, but im sure i have another one i bought for the bike shock, if you like i can check tomorrow see if it s the same size, if so you can have it if you like fairly easy to adjust in hight not touched mine yet, sure theres a guide on the forum if you do a search, diy job :)

Cheers Gavin that would be great , I thought Brian told me there was one in the car when it arrived but I haven\'t seen it ,

do me a favour and see how hard your suspension is set , just wondering if Fish is right is so it looks like I\'m staying hard ;)

ok just checked and the bike one is slightly larger think it will still do though,

you can borrow the cusco one if you are going to do it, or have the bike one no good to me any more,
