markymark Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 when undersealing the car today i thought i would have an inspection, i was checking out my dampers and discovered i had TEIN TYPE HA. I've had a read up on there web site and they sound very good (what company says there stuff is crap???) i was wondering if anyone has any knowledge on what they are like or how to adjust the dampers... i have noticed at the top of the dampers, they seem to have a valve cap (like if you needed to release air, or put air in) don't have a clue - does anyone have any ideas.... your help would be appreciated :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 They in my opinion are one of the leading companys in suspension kits, the valve on the top looks like its compatable with the EDFC unit ( electronic damping force controller) which allows you to adjust the damping force from inside the car. http://www.tein.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 4 letting me know wasn't going to change the ride hight by the lower nut was looking at fitting the EDFC , which from reading it is fixed to the top so no need to turn at the bottom ( unless i read it wrong??)

lockys96 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 the edfc only changes the dampness of the spring, hard/soft, im not sure if the HA is compatible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymark Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 the edfc only changes the dampness of the spring, hard/soft, im not sure if the HA is compatible i can see what you are saying now, im happy with the ride hight but sometimes i feel the suspension is very hard so it would be a good idea if i can choose a softer to harder ride (THIS SOUNDS LIKE SEX THERAPY) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
