**vtec23Q** · 06-01-2012 11:05 PM

hey guys recently bought a DC5R, it came with the buddy club n+ coilovers and a buddy club spec pro exhaust. just today i bought work emotion cr kais and put them on and then got the height adjusted to a bit lower and after that i felt that the ride is very bumpy and stiff so i was wondering how do you adjust the damper on those coilovers theres no knob on the strut in the engine bay ?

As far as I know, DC5R have inverted shocks and the dampening adjust knob is on the bottom. Not 100% sure on this though.

Correct, they use inverted dampers, so to adjust the damper you will need to be looking directly underneath the shock body which is obviously under the car. These coilovers are 16 way adjustable btw so don't set them out side of the parameters they were designed to be used in otherwise you will destroy them!

Usually the damper adjustable knob clicks when you turn it. Just make sure you turn slowly and count how many clicks you do so you don't exceed 16.

Just go all the way to one side and click back to where you want it.

The click noise is quiet but you can feel the click if that makes sense

i tried doing that on the little knob under the coilover body after turning my wheel to the side, the knob wasnt twisting its stuck doesnt go left or right ?
