Cool Kei Office Coil Over Question..

alright i bought my sc3 back in november of 08 the guy told me it has teins on them so i was like ok thats cool. since i thought teins mostly comes in green shocks and coil over. come to find out when i pulled off my stock wheels to replace with TT wheels i read the silver sticker and it said Kei Office...btw if i didnt mention they're all green. anyways my question to anyone out there who knows about this suspension i've never heard of is...is there anyway i can adjust the shocks for a softer ride? i mean the settings if they are adjustable as of now is pretty stiff. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

kei office is good stuff...for the track. id be willing to be they are stiffer then my stances.

snap a few pics of them. the adjustment **** is most likely on top of the shock. if not it may be on the bottom where the shocks mount to the control arm. i have seen that on a set of GAB shocks.

if you dont like them and want to sell them let me know

What set up are you running? I'll try to take a couple snap shots of them. Like i said they're full Kei Office Coil Over and Shocks setup and are all green. Looks like you can adjust them but there's no number or up/down directions or whatnot on them so i wouldn't even know which way to turn if they were adjustable.

sup dude long time no talk. i dont think he wants to sell them yet. let him play around with them and see if he can adjust them to what he likes. if he dosnt like them then he will let us know

btw im running stance coilovers on my car with prothane polyurethane bushings all around, solid diff mounts(custom made myself), and solid rack bushings(custom made myself)

thanks for the info. i'll definitely try that when i have time hope i can at least get a better ride then it is now. its not bad but my girls integra with neuspeed and stock shock setup rides smoother then my car.

im pretty sure it is. like i said the guy i bought the car from didnt even know what setup was on there he said it was "tein's" i didnt believe him after i had the car for a month from the way it rides not talking down on the setup i have now but from what i understand these are pretty good for track.

they are much stiffer then that. i have 18/12 on my stances right now and the ride is actually pretty nice.

i think i saw something before they were 22/16 or something very close to that.
