single top adjust for both, just rotate the knob.
and to be honest I'm not sure I could ever set them up correctly if I had both to play with.
height adjust is just reach in with the two spanners, back off the locking nut and rotate to desired height and re-lock.
eezey-peezey.

if it ever stops raining I'm looking forward to playing with them.
after~100 miles, they have begun settling a little.


the basic install.
you re-use the top hats from the existing shocks.
so remove old shocks and springs, compress the old springs and remove tophat.
to re-assemble new springs;
set starting height, drop springs onto the collar and re-using top hat and install.

only mildly tough part was popping the fuel filler to get easier access on drivers rear.
The rears we got lazy and jacked down the A-arms rather than releasing the pre-load on the lower and upper A-arms in order to slip in the shock assembly.
Doing it again we could probably pop and hour or so off that time.

Thanks Jerry. the description is a bit confusing as it claims the compression and rebound can be adjusted independently, but with on knob, I don't see how that is possible. I guess it isn't

ok so i just dialed 'em in for stiffest at all 4 corners.

almost cart like, very, very flat on transitions, very nimble.
4 foot moose test just awesome, I could where this would be really good for auto-X.
it is a bit jouncy at that setting so for day to day I'll probably back off a tick or two to keep the wife happy.

I really really wish it could be controlled from the drivers seat.
I might try and build an adapter which allows changing the setting on the rears without having to go through pulling the spare etc.

now time to go give it a bath. well, it is spring after all.
