Spax adjustable's.. How do you adjust.
 

So i bought a VTR today that had Spax adjustable suspension on it. I was a numpty and forgot to ask how do they adjust the stiffness?

Spax website says there are 28 settings. What way would i turn the nut to make the suspension firm?

They are adjustable height, not sure how changing the height would affect the firmness of them... I guess lower for a firmer ride?

your wrong, highering or lowering doesn't change the firmness, totally different thing altogether and theres usually a knob you turn either on the shock body or the very top of the shock

Alright, easy on mate, I did say I wasn't sure :homme:

tbh this is how people fuck things up by others giving advice on something they don't know about

He was being kind, offering some input to a thread. Thats what a forum is about. No need to get on your high horse and be a tool is there? Your close to 100 posts btw, keep your spam sesh up, you might make it by the end of the night.

grow up

surely you wouldn't want someone just guessing about something to do with your car

The stiffness will need to be adjusted dependent on what height you set it at as well. You'd be better off taking it to a proper Suspension Geometry company and letting them sort it for you.

Bullens it was you un-needed post underneath that he is commenting on. The guy was just asking a simple question and you overreacted, and its not even your car, stick to giving advice and keep your estrogen levels at a minimum.

I was only making a suggestion. Chill out.

Agreed. But I also wouldn't want to spoken down too when your only trying to brainstorm some potential ideas. Take note of your own advice.

hahaha, it doesn't even say if the op has coilovers or not, because spax also make standard macpherson struts so saying highering or lowering is pointless

hahaha

What is highering? You seem to know a lot so please explain?

Not everyone knows everything mate. You could of corrected him politely.

You could of also condensed them two posts into one. +2 for the post count. Ohhh that for sale forum is so near!

if its coilover suspension you can raise the spring platform but that won't do a thing to affect the firmness of the shocks

your clearly dumb, have to be on the site over 30 days aswell as 100 posts, have fook all to sell anyway so i'm not bothered about the for sale section

if i was really bothered about the for sale section i would of paid to be able to use it

I know exactly what a coilover is, what you have just described is raising the height. So what is highering?

highering/raising

Highering isn't a word so I don't know where you got that from, but no doubt you are about to tell me.

make you feel big trying to take the piss out of someone whos dyslexic does it?

pathetic, grow up

:wink:

lol seriously though. You seem to love correcting people, yet don't like it when the tables are turned. Granted dyslexia is a problem for many, but is it not when people get letters messed up, like in the wrong order? Not actually getting the words completely wrong?

Not really, i'm dyslexic. You're just backwards.

if you say so child

He's a child? Isn't inventing words something children like to do?

clearly do have a clue what dyslexia is then do you?

don't***

Anyway, this is getting stupid. Sorry Logic_guy for ruining your thread. Just felt a point had to be made. No doubt this thread will be locked in zeee mornin'.

I swear I saw highererererering here yesterday

:bored:

prick!!

Gotta get me a pair of those epic glasses!

I'll grab my coat I am finit.

Banterrrr.

you said it

Right mate. Anyway, I suggest we leave this thread alone, it's only gonna get locked/deleted, and your gonna loose your post count.

Get back on topic please.

Well said. Logic_guy, if you post some more details about your setup, someone should be able to help. If not, then maybe some pictures?

Spax do not actually make a coil over kit for the Saxo or 106. They do make a kit which comprises of adjustable dampers to adjust the firmness.

This firmness is adjusted by a small knob on top of the damper which is clockwise for stiff, anti clockwise for soft. The kit usually has a small tool that fits on to twist the knob round, but if you havnt been given it if i remember correctly an 8mm socket will suffice.

In terms of height the spax kit offers absolutely no adjustment in this field, simply the height will be whatever set front springs you buy plus whatever you get your torsion bars adjusted to. 40mm or 60mm are what spax offer.

If this simple answer was given straight away there wouldn't be 2 pages of shit to get to a half decent answer.

Right, these aint coil overs. There -50mm spax ADJUSTABLE. Meaning adjusting the stiffness of the suspension. You can't adjust the height.

Willsy. Have some thanks!
