that little knob is to tune the damping force. you got to turn it FULL clockwise to hardest setting 1st, then turn counter clock wise 8 clicks (factory setting) if not hard enough, turn full clockwise , then 1 click lesser (7 clicks)

i think tein HA is 16 hardness settings. 1 being hardest, 16 being softest.

Point to add...
Try not to exceed the 16th click (anti-clockwise from hardest).
The damper will up lorry very fast. :wink:

more clicks= more soft. the turn screw can go more then 16 clicks, but more then the recommended 16 clicks, the damper might spoil easily.

Yup! :wink:
As a rule of thumb, always start off by turning the knob fully clockwise, which is hardest. Then slowly go anti-clockwise click by click to find the setting you feel best for comfort and handling. Once u have reach 16 clicks, u shld not go further. If u still find it too hard at 16, then it is time to change spring rate or even the coilover. :lol:

:shock:
Your questions are way beyond the scope of this thread. It is better for you to post a new thread. :wink:

PS: Damper and tyre pressure are just 2 out of many variables you will need to tune for track.The same setting that works for 1 car may not necessarily work for another. You will need to experiment with and also find something that matches your driving style. Hope I didn't frighten u away! :wink:

tein HA is out of production already. you can try your luck in the want to sell section in SHC forums. you should be able to gauge the price then..
