Has anyone adjusted the suspension ...

According to the instructions on pgs 213 to 215 of the manual?

The rear pictures on 214 - 215 show the "bottom dampers" in 2 separate pictures, one of which I know is the upper.

Then page 213 on the left side says make the dampers harder by going clockwise and on the right it says to go CCW.

Am I nuts?
Or do we have a problem in the manual?

To be honest I never even looked at the manual, the adjustments seemed pretty self explainatory, at least for anyone who has been around adjustable suspension in the past. To the best of my knowledge, it should be clockwise regardless of which side of the car you are on to firm up the ride, but now that you mention it I will pay closer attention the next time I adjust them

Well I figured that since the car cost more than a $100 toy, it might be wise to read the directions first! (I would never do that under normal circumstances < $100.)

All's well that ends well. The car survived suspension changes without an off-road experience. That's a good thing because Eagles Canyon does not suffer fools gladly.

What shock dampening settings do you guys run, and/or what are they stock? x/y front and rear. Also how much camber is stock and what are you guys running? Thanks. Sean
