Answer: You "unscrew" the damper to start from the softer position.
Then you "screw" the damper and count the "clik" to obtain the good dampig rate.
It's the Tein procedure and the only good procedure.

Basicly why do you want to make a subtraction of a value when you've got direct reading ???

Anyway if you tell what is your repository I don't see any kind of problems

What is wrong with you? You don't have to subtract. Just count the X amount of clicks you turn it clockwise from stiff, and you're set.

I installed the coilovers last week on my 89 nissan Laurel with rb20det. took about 1.5 hours because i had to slot the holes on my rear strut bar to accomodate the larger strut top nuts and that took me about 35 minutes with a file

. i just jacked the whole car up, put it on stands, and then used a jack under the lower control arms to lift the lower mounts up so i could install the shorter coilover units. very easy install if you don't have a home-made rear strut brace.

for the laurel, the front was wayyyyy lower than the rear, as they are heavier in the front than a silvia. but it still sits better than it did with spring/shock combo. I will get around to adjusting it when i have time. I've played with damper settings and currently have it at 10 front, 7 rear, and the ride is great and handles awesome, albeit it is abit rough on the old new zealand road surfaces. i currently have 17x7.5" mags on the rear and stock 15x6" mags up front as i just sold my other set of 17's as i'm upgrading to 5stud next week, so i'll mess around with settings after that.

heres some pics of the install:

clearance on the front with stock 15x6" mags, plenty of room.
