DAMPING ADJUSTMENT

The dampers in this kit have 30 settings, or “clicks,” of adjustable compression and rebound damping characteristics. Damping is changed through the damper rod using the supplied adjuster (figs. 21 & 22) or a 3 mm allen wrench.

Turn the adjuster clockwise and the damping settings are hardened. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise and the damping is softened.

Each damper is preset to “-20 clicks.” This means that the damper is adjusted 20 clicks away from full stiff. Counting down from full stiff is the preferred method of keeping track of, or setting, damping. This setting was developed on a 2014 Ford Focus ST and may need to be adjusted to different vehicles and driving characteristics.

ALIGNING THE VEHICLE

1. Using the control system, set the vehicle height to the new custom ride height.

2. If the custom ride height is lower than stock, we recommend loosening all pivot points

(bolts, nuts) on any control arm, strut arm or radius rod that contains bushings. Once they have been loosened, re-torque to stock specifications.

It may be necessary to cycle the suspension to loosen the bushing up from its mount. This will help re-orient the bushing at its new position and increase life of the bushings based on the custom ride height.
