How far did you turn the shock collars down? If they are very far down the piston will be far down in the shock housing as well. When the suspension moves upwards (e.g. weight shifts forward when braking so rear of car goes up) the piston will move even lower, possibly hitting the indentations for the adjustable pistons. There is a good chance that these will not be perfectly aligned possibly resulting in the piston being adjusted to a different setting... |

Hi, I have the collars turned down about 2-3 mil max. I was running on 24r's on normal size rims at 5mm ride height and a minimum of droop so i don't think my car was doing what you suggested (thats what i thought it could be doing as the weight shifted between front to rear but i don't think it is). Anything else you can think of? |

Hmmm, the only thing I can think of is that while mounting them you may have turned the piston while it was fully extended. This has happened to me a couple of times in the past. |

Hey Rob, it wasn't one of your rear shocks was it? It may have been caused when that minor altercation wrecked the rear end of your car. That was soo unlucky - you were - in my opinion - heading for a great result - possibly - no probably an A Final win! Rob |

Do u recomend running the adjustble ones, or the solid pistons? I would figure the one piece ones, just cuz i am old fashioned. |
