You, my friend have a comprehension problem.
And you are WAY too uptight. Stay off of the caffeine for a while . . . or whatever your "upper" of choice happens to be.
Listen closely:
I did compress the front springs before installing them. This, I believe, is what made it difficult to adjust their height. There was obviously too much pressure on the perch, even with the wheels off of the ground. Plain and simple, no special terminology needed. I want to know if I should have done that, or not . . . and why.
You also know from experience that this suspension setup comes with very little instructions.
How in the hell can the dampers be over adjusted? They adjust to be harder than where I have them set now. Basically, they are within their functioning capacity. What the hell are you on?
If you just want to make this look horrible, you've succeeded.
There's a 90% chance that you've earned an ass whooping at the next SERCA meet. I'll let you know . . .
You got by at the last one because my girlfriend enjoyed talking with your wife.
Straighten up old-timer . . . I'm not amused.
We're supposed to be having fun and educating each other in this forum, not acting like a bunch of stiffs. If, you think I've done something wrong, say it with tact. No need to be dramatic and immature.
You're no expert on suspension tuning or installation, so don't pretend to be one.
Please behave yourself in this arena . . . save the drama for the mailing list.
