eventually installed the shocks.
1st am going to tell you my experience on how the car feels (which is the reason why we are installing them).
as, according to the instructions, there are several positions where we can adjust for the kind of softness that feels best to our liking, i tried for the 1st time the extreme softness (full right turn) to see how it handles, to see the difference from the too hard for my liking of the original. i drove at a street that has lots of slots across (perfect for the test). the difference was, 1st, the noise: way noisier. this made me the impression that they still were too hard. but then i realized that it was due to being just loose in its run. practically as if there were no shocks ! so i turned the **** to the next position indicated in the instructions (1/2 half turn to the left) and drove again. still too loose for my taste. another 1/2 turn: now feels more to my liking. still will keep an eye on it for a few days and decide where i like it best permanently.
but, fellows, now it feels more like conventional cars, which is what i was aiming at. tailored to my way of driving.
then, i wonder about all this thing of turning the **** half a turn, as the instructions say...if there were stops, i understand, but as there are not, does it means that we may turn it to any number of degrees (or fractions of a turn) as we want? seems to me so. there are no stops that restrict the degrees we may want.
anyway, the results is: success !!!
will post details on the instal later (and pics). keep posted.
