Tein HG

[kent75]

Hi everyone, i have a set of Tein HG n there is an external reservoir with a adjustable nut in the bottom of it. It is something like a soft hard adjuster, but on top my of coilover, there is a nut also. For the top sure can adjust soft hard, but how about the bottom 1 which is built at the bottom of the external reservoir? Is it to adjust soft hard also? Anyone can answer me?

For picture, can view http://www.tein.com/products/hg.html

upper 1 is adjust the soft/hard bound & re-bound by damper fluid, while the bottom 1 is set the better bound & re-bound thru gas.
this is for competition use which require more fine tuning... wat a great stuff u got there...

 

[kent75]

Hmmm, so basically both also used to tune soft hard ?
My front's set is using EK9's coz dc2 dun have this spec. Rear is using gravel dc2.

nop, u must set the soft hard thru the upper side, then only fine tune the bound & rebound thru the bottom. EK & DC is the same..

So u mean, something like jumping la ? To get the feeling whether it will bounce/jump or not is it?

Hmmm..I'm using swift spring 12k in front, it seems still have a 2-finger gap although it has been lowered to the max.

12k... abit soft to me....
so, u looking for high speed cornering or tight cornering..??

I think tight cornering will do..

 

[JINEIL2EN]

I think tight cornering will do..

if tight cornering, 12k will be too soft... mayb u can try 16k...

wa, but i feel bouncy ald when set it to the hardest. If front 16k, then how about the rear 1? Coz my rear is using type gravel, not HG, but for rally also...

Oh...Coz previously i'm using Ohlin Hi Lo Soft Hard adjustable, Front 12k, rear 10k swift spring. I've been suffering from the bouncing effect in daily driving even set to the softest rate. That's y i've changed to this set so that i can have a better comfort n yet performance. What if i want something not that bouncy but still can do some cornering?

 

[JINEIL2EN]

i'm using fr18k, rr14k... still comfort when low speed, stiff in high speed cornering...
