[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 349662, member: 16552"] Hey!...I was [b]THINKING[/b] 'adjustment'...external even!! I can't help it if my fingers weren't listening ;) Fred: You bet. Basically, it's backwards from what you might think. Too little free sag (less than 1/2 inch or so)=too light a spring, too much free sag (inch or more)=too heavy a spring. This from Pro-Action's site (jeremy had the same fact on his site at one time. I didn't see it today.): Take your '..if you are heavy..' (spring too light) situation. If your sag is 110mm and you want 100mm, which way do you turn the adjuster? You make the spring LONGER (turn it 'out' if you will). The longer the spring is, the less free/static sag you'll have. Exaggerate to make the point. Put in a spring that is 24" long. You won't have ANY free sag at all. Take a 'spring too heavy' situation (you're too LIGHT...ha!!;) ) If your sag is 90mm and you want 100mm, you turn the adjuster to make the spring SHORTER (turn it 'in'). Use exaggeration again to make the point. Put in a spring that is 6" long. You'll have all sorts of free/static sag. Therefore..as pro-action states..as 'tis so....verily it is written :) Please...no one take me to task for the 'short/long' thing. I realize the issue is NOT the length of the dang spring, but it DOES show what happens with a too heavy/too light spring. I think............;) BTW: [url]http://www.pro-action.com/shock_tuning.htm[/url] Cheers!! [/QUOTE]
