Default Tein Flex question.

Have an 06 AP2 that I purchased with wheels and suspension. It's got tein flex all around and something that I have noticed about these that is quite different from OEM and a set of BuddyClub coilovers that I had on a previous S2 is that I can easily push the car up and down with my hand, I also can't feel a difference when I adjust the dampening, but I don't think they're blown because the they absorb bumps well and don't bottom out even on big dips/bumps. They also ride really nice. Just curious if this is a normal characteristic of a product geared towards street tuners or if there is something else I'm missing. I've tried to download a manual but you have to call or email tein apparently. I'd like to make them just slightly stiffer in front but can't tell if the knob adjustment is working like with my old BuddyClub setup. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I can not easily push my car up and down with my hand. The thing above is a link to the manual that is in my photo gallery. If it won't work then copy and past this http://www.s2ki.com/s2000/gallery/al...pe-flex-manual

I am away from my S for a bit, but if memory serves, I can't push down on the car and move the suspension (Tein Flex). At least not with how hard I am comfortable pushing on the fender sheet metal.

I counted the number of turns on the adjustment after being confused by the tein website for about an hour and found that my dampers have a 27way adjustment. I adjusted both sides and each direction again to see if I could feel a difference dampening force and I could, quite dramatically. Grins website is confusing as hell, so the 16 turns I made previously were not enough to feel a notable difference so I thought something was wrong... Thanks tein... At least they aren't blown
