I've got a set of Spax sat on my living room floor ready for fitting after but current shocks where diagnosed as leaking termanaly. However maybe i'm being thick but i can't figure out from the instructions which way is full hard or full soft. So which way is which? Also what's a good starting point for road driving? Cheers Rob

Turn the dial towards "+" for harder and towards "-" for softer . Mine are 12 clicks from the hardest setting on the front and 14 clicks from hard on the rear (as set by Plans Motorsport). I may make them a few clicks softer all round for the road as they are a bit hard (lived with them like this since April though), but I reckon i could've set them a few clicks harder for my recent trackday. Hope this helps Steve

there is no + or - indicator on the ones i've got can someone have a look which way is which, at the minute I've assumed that clockwise is harder as i supose it's a valve you close to make them flow less gas.

In my experience left is usually softer and right harder.

softer to the left, harder to the right

Yes it was me being thick, well unobservant i expected the indicator to be near the knob not 8 inchs above under the spring so today I've fitted a new upper rear ball joint, what a pig of a job that was. It took 2 of us 1.5 hours using a fully equiped workshop, and full set of spax. Although I misjudged how much to move the collar up so seem to be running a VX off roader . I'm going to book it in to horizon next week to get the ride hight and geo done.
