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

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.

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

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

Davey-Prater 22nd May 2011 03:07

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

highering/raising

Davey-Prater 22nd May 2011 03:09

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