Default HKS coils installed...but don't know how to adjust dampening in the front?

Guys/gals,

I bought a used set of HKS Hipermax CLX III and am trying to adjust the front dampening. Is there a special tool I need? Here's a pic of the front

Yea there is a tool what did u adjust the rear with? Some have caps that u can adjust and some require a key that slides in to set them. It's possible the prior member had some sort of electric dampening and changed things. If there different from the rears check with the prior owner before trying anything. A local got used tein and ran into this issue since they had the edfc controller

Thanks guys... I did talk to Alex and he showed me how to do it. It was a simple hex long tool like ghd8989 mentioned.
