My car is running alittle to bouncy for my taste now. Never was like this when i had them on awhile back. How the hell do you adjust the stiffness on coilovers? Their D2 coilovers by the way.

or you missing the adjusting knob...

can you take a pic, there should be a opening where you can adjust the dampening with an allen wrench

are the struts inverse?

On my old Tein flex coilovers... I had to use a allen wrench.

Maybe your coilovers are the inverted version and the knob could be at the bottom like my old JIC coilovers.

^True that, my GR+ are inverted and the adjustment is at the bottom. Although, IIRC, D2 doesn't make inverted shocks.

Is it just a nut where you turn?

I'd suggest posting pics first before you start undoing random nuts.

You cant adjust it there and I dont think d2's came inverted look at the bottom of the coilover body.
Could they possibly be a different brands with d2 camber plates?
