if your viewing damper from in front of the car so its on your left side. which way do you turn it to make it stiffer? to the right (tighty) or left (loosey) ? i got a hand me down with no intrsuctions thats why im asking?

or what would be the correct way to tighten it? to make it stiffer?

I'm comparing to your ingalls siffy. I spent less, and have moer damping force that is easier to fine tune and adjust. Basically I win? No, Just showin' what's up..can't I participate? if not I'll take my bags and leave.

All you are showing is you used a R&D design and adapted it to use a mountain bike shock? How is that a better design?

R&D? No. I Just like how much more adjustable it is. Have you tested yours at the track yet? I've just seen people wiht Weapon R, Ingalls spending twice as much as I did and not be happy with it at all. I've felt them both, I like mine better. Thats just me, come to cali if you want to experience it.

its a simple install. You need extended socket pieces. 14mm and maybe a 10mm for the VC if it gets in the way. You don't even need to move the alternator line if you take your time.

after running the stiffy for 2k miles, the vibrations at idle and when the a/c on is starting to annoy me. what was the best method in stopping such an issue? i already used 2 layers of raamat on the initial install of the product.

Check your length and make sure there is no load on the damper when your car is sitting still. Also check all of your torque specs again. If that doesn't work let me know

How do I tighten my ETD once it is installed? For example I'm standing on the closest side of the Damper which is the passenger side. What do I turn to tighten it, and what direction. (righty tighty) right? I just want some help on it so that I know that i am doing it correctly.
Thank you

STOP you should never adjust the ETD on the car!!! go to www.ingallseng.com click on Stiffy applications then download the how to adjust the ETD instructions. Avoid breaking the stiffy and being out of that hard earned money. Ingalls wont cover damage from adjusting on the car.

Yes the smaller the distance between the two large nuts should be no closer than 10mm and not further than 15mm away
