Never had this problem before but after adjusting it to hard level 13 (autocross) and go back to level 2 for normal driving , now everytime that i go through small bums or any bump the suspension squeks like the sound of hydraulics..... anyone ever experience this before?

and when i just got the car i turn the knob all the way counter clockwise for full soft only to realise that is not the right way to do it after reading the manual, it says go all the way clockwise(hardest) then go back 16 clicks.... is that how u guys adjust your tein coilovers?

thanks a lot guys

The top bolt that holds the camber plate down may be loose. Check it.

And as always check the collars.

Tein valving = Suck.

Sorry for your loss, it is a fun game to play, getting them rebuilt often.
