Adjusting the D2 Suspension??

I have a question on these coilovers for those of you that own them. How are they adjusted? I got those little rodes that i put inside of the strut to adjust them, i just don't understand how they are to be adjusted 36 different ways like it says they do. There are no instructions provided so I have no clue how to tweak them to make the ride better. Does anyone know of a guide or some installation instructions or any literature i can read online that'll teach me how to adjust those things. I'm clueless as to how i should adjust them for maximum ride quality.


If any of you got some input, please lemme know. I'm going to get these installed tomorrow on my car and ditch the Hayames, so any help regarding installation on these that I should be aware and also how to adjust them, that would be great.

Thanks
-Eric

there are 6 dot's on the top of the shock and a little arrow on the **** makes 6 full turns (6x6=36). i have mine set at full soft on the front (all the way counter clockwise) and 1 turn from soft on the rear, for street driving.

Right on, i'm installing mine tonight, so i'll adjust them accordingly.

I honestly cannot wait to get the Hayames off and the D2's on, I need a car to drive.

D2's ride a million times better then my Progress spring with stock shocks combo. No more bottoming out!

*Also make sure the rear bushing is installed correctly. One rubber bushing goes inside the top mount the other goes outside of it under thewaser and under the bolt.

Good luck with the install Eric, give me a call when you have a chance so I can get the Hayames picked up.
