Long time reader/lurker.... first time poster.

I am running TEIN SS on my car right now. And there something that's been bothering me. Is the difference on the settings on it... Setting the coilover 1-10 is fairly noticeable... but 10-17 has no difference. Has anyone encountered this? What gives Tein? And it's just not me when it comes to feeling it... I'd had several friends that sad the same thing... :o11:

needle valve rebound adjusters (all cheap coilovers) are not linear. its just a design flaw.

in most cases, adjustments make the biggest change on the stiff end of the range.

Entry-level adjustable coilovers don't adjust very well. You're better off getting non-adjustable coilovers that are valved exactly for your needs.
