Default Weird thing about TEIN SS

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...

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.
