About a year ago i bought these coilovers on ebay, they were advertised as zeal function v6 coilovers that were in use by someone in japan who brought them back over here when he returned... when i recieved them they looked great, everything was looking good except there was not any visible way of adjusting them. i figured id figure it out later, and just adjusted heights and put them on the car.

ive been using these since then and i must say i love them, even if i havent figured out how to adjust the dampening... it seems to be set very nice for street use and for what i use it for. this is pretty much the curiosity wanting to know what is up with these, because i even talked to someone at endless a little and he was baffled... heres some pics of the tops and bottoms of them:













im thinking they are really old coilovers, and dont have their new pvs system or whatever, but how would you adjust them? take them apart? possibly non adjustable?

anyone have any ideas?

ps: sorry bout the crappy res pics

They're def. zeal coilovers. Probably an old design. Turn the knobs at the end of the shock? Are you asking if they can be made to be adjustable?

those arent knobs, they are what looks to be a refill nozzle

im asking if someone knows something about them, and how they are adjusted, if they are adjustable....

Looks like ride height and spring preload and front camber are your only adjustments.... damping is a fixed setting.
