pro tech shocks damper setting
Afternoon all
Before starting again tonight sorting out ride height etc. With the small adjuster knob facing you, is the softer setting turning to the left or
right? as I take it that will also have an effect when the car is moving?
Thanks
Nigel

Looking at your knob  fully anti-clockwise is the softest damper setting. For initial set-up and driving start with it set low and increase to
taste.
While your setting the car up, what tyre pressures have you got. Typical for a Pinto engine car would be somewhere around 16-18 psi rear and 18-20psi
front.
Personally I found 16.5psi rear and 18psi front worked best for me with 195/50R15 wheels/tyres.

The difference between hard and soft is quite pronounced, have a fiddle with your knob and see how hard it things can get  sorry lol
