| Unusual Noises |
| 1. I purchased a brand new TYPE FLEX DAMPER with pillow upper mount. It was the first time I installed a shock absorber by myself, but when I am driving, I hear a clattering noise. Did I buy a faulty product? |
| 2. I purchased a brand new TYPE FLEX DAMPER with pillow upper mount. There were no problems installing the shock absorber, but I can hear clattering and tapping sounds. |
| 3. I think aeration is occurring in my shock absorber and I hear a tapping sound. How do I release the air? |
| 4. I bought a old used TYPE-H damper and after installing it, I can hear a discomforting noise. |
| 5. I purchased a set of S.TECH springs and after installation, I can hear noises which sound like metal rubbing against each other. Is it something I should be worried about? |
| 6. I installed my part a while ago, but recently I started hearing some clanging noises. |
| 7. I installed the SUPER STREET DAMPER to my car, and when I drive over rough surfaces, I can hear squeaking noises from the rear. Is it a defect? |
| 8. I installed BASIC WAGON to my car, but while I drive, I can hear squeaking and/ or rattling noises. Was it not properly installed? |

| Vehicle Ride Height Adjustment / Settings |
| 1. It is my first time adjusting the ride height. What ride height position should I set my car at? |
| 2. If I mainly want to drive at the circuit, how should I set the spring rate and ride height? |
| 3. I wanted to lower the ride height by 30mm so I lowered the lower seat by 30mm. But the actual ride height dropped by 45mm. Why? |
| 4. Why is the front spring rate for the Mark II and Supra set so high, between 12k-18k? |
| 5. I purchased the SUPER STREET DAMPER and I intend to go to the circuit, so I increased the spring rate by 4k. I lowered the seat to the lowest position, but the ride height doesn’t drop very much. Why? |
| 6. I lowered my car very low, but the ride comfort is bad. What can I do to improve the comfort level? |
| 7. I want to secure more stroke by cutting the bump rubber. How much should I cut? |
| 8. I often hear the ride comfort worsens as you lower the ride height, but if I raise the ride height, does it affect the ride comfort? |
| 9. I have HIGH.TECH springs on my car, but the ride height is not as low as I thought. Is the product defective? |
| 10. When looking at springs, e.g. S.TECH, spring rates are written like the following (2.9?5.5k). Does this mean that the spring rate can be chosen within the range? |
