On my GAZ shocks i brought from minispares.
I take it that turning it anticlockwise (= - on the shocks) gives it a smoother ride, and clockwise (= + on the shocks) will make it a stiffer ride ?
Well ive tied both, and they still feel as stiff as fck...
Anyway, The wanker i am, im sure im doing something wrong.
I dont mind it stiff (That's what the missus said) but this is bunnyhopping :)

Cheers

Yeah that should be right. Are you sure the suspension arms aren't seized? I had this when i first rebuilt my mini and put spax shocks on. It turned out that the top arm on the front suspension was seized.

The Spax and Gaz are hard even on the softest settings compared to standard shocks.
