I just adjusted my front struts a little, and i noticed the one side is super easy to turn with the adjuster knob, like, i can get a full turn if i flick spin it. Anyone else notice this?

no mine neither. you might have spun the adjuster thing all the way out see if you can screw it back in. or call tokico supposedly they have really good customer service

weird, i drove it around, now the adjuster knob is tight when u spin it. And, i just realized all this as i just finished driving to tune the suspension, when i have the d-specs set on 5 away from full stiff, it makes soo much more noise, i get a knock or a hard squeek out of the right rear and the nose feels and sounds more loose over harder bumps. WTF?!?! When i have it set on full stiff its perfectly fine! i am also lowered on H&R's so i dunno if 2" or w/e they are is a little pushin it for the soft side?

i had skunk2 springs when i had d specs. i was pretty damn low. but the ride was great.

quick question and i think i already know the answer.....won't having the shocks set to full stiff wear them out quicker??? i have them at that atm, been like that for a few days, and love it lol....i just don't wanna kill'em.....any help would be appreciated!

i hear a lot of people say setting adjustables to full soft/stiff is not good for it.

I've kept mine on full stiff almost the whole time. They have lasted a while for me. They still aren't quite dead yet.
