I'm kinda confused, but I've looked at the instructions, but I can't seem to figure out how to adjust the rear shocks.

Ok I am assuming that you have the Reds? Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, the way that you adjust reds is to take them off the car, take off the spring, compress the rod all the way into the shock until you feel a slight click, then turn them with an allen wrench either clockwise for tighter or counter clockwise for softer. You have to keep it compressed all the way the whole time or els it will slip out of the adjustment area and you will be turning it for no reason. With it all the way stiff it will take a really long time for the rod to rebound, but with it set all the way soft it will bounce right back up. E-mail me at [email protected] if you need more detailed instructions.

those instructions that come with the struts suck ***...

I have the yellows, but I assume theyre the same way, I already have them installed, but its a hellacious bouncy ride, so I'm assuming theyre on the firmest setting.
