...from RT Racing the ones with the little round adjuster at the bottom.

Anybody know which way to turn them to make them harder/softer?
(They were on the car when I bought it BTW)

I fancy having a play with mine.

Don't know these dampers specifically, but conventionally clockwise to increase damping.

Cheers Peter!

I assume, in order to make sure they're set the same, I'm best to wind them back as far as they will go, count the number of clicks up and then repicate it on the other side?

As for calling Richard - I doubt he's in on a sunny Sunday afternoon. And I fancy having a play with them whilst I've got some spare time.

I will be calling him in the week, as I need some other bits and pieces.

Actually, the recommended approach is to wind them fully hard and them back them off by equal amounts. Be carefull not to mix your clockwise and anti-clockwise up, it's easy to do when working left handed, upside down etc to reach awkward adjusters.
