Adjusting the bump/compression:
The compression forces can be adjusted on our patented 2-way bottom valve. Access to the bump valve
in most instances is found on the bottom of each shock case. Hardness adjustment on the rebound valve
is made on the end of the piston rod with the supplied setting wheel or with a 2mm Allen key.
Adjusting bump:
Bump forces, especially on low damper speeds, have a great influence on handling and driving behaviour
of your car. The setting of the bump forces will be made from the bottom of the shock case. Behind the
adjusting grove you gain access to a pin with 4 holes. With the supplied small key, the adjusting pin can be
adjusted by 3 clicks in either direction. Smaller increments are possible.
Before performing any adjustments, the valve must be closed by turning the adjuster clockwise until it
stops. In this position, the shock will be at full hard, or “maximum power”. From here, the adjustment range
is 12 clicks.
To avoid the mismatch of the dampers when actively changing settings, you should close the valve from
time to time to re-calibrate the settings from side to side.
Bump adjusting principles:
Generally, hard low speed bump settings will stabilize the corresponding axle (less over steer on the rear,
for example) or offer the front a more precise steering response. Too much low speed bump power will
decrease grip!
Depending on the valve configuration found inside the kit, maximum bump forces will not influence the
suspensions response when encountering hard bumps, such as curbs on the racetrack.
Attention! Do not turn the adjusting spindle by force when you reach the end of the adjustment
range, this may damage the fine valve inside the system!
