Right I have recd my racing reds, (thanks Derek at Ab Shocks for prompt service)

Can some one who has already fitted them advise please :-

Can they be fitted either way up ? If yes what are the pros and cons of each ?

Is there an intial measuremant for setting the height with them off the car (I appreciate that fine tuning will be required after fitting and when things have settled down).

I have read the debates over setting the number of clicks, but from which direction are people reffering (clockwise or anti clockwise.

Also I see that the rubber bush is replaced with a rose joint with 2 aluminium spacers. Is there a torque figure for the Nyloc nut, as I dont want to crush these spacers (I am bit suprised they are aluminium)

I am a bit suprised there is no 'locking ring' on the height adjustment thread. What stops it from moving afteryou have set it ?

Any fitting tips from anyone ?

Ive got my rears upside down so you can reach the adjusting ring - fronts can stay the right way up as you can reach though with the bonnet open. I set mine up on 15 all around but found it a little soft im on 18 i think now.
