Stipe Shocks

For anyone running Stipe Shocks, how far out do you run your adjustment needles for optimal performance. I remember seeing suggestions in the instructions but I can't find it.

I have had my Stipe Shocks for ~10 years now and haven't paid too much attention to them. They work so good I forgot about them. But the last couple of outings, the front end seems more "bouncy" than usual.

I just checked them and the needles are out ½ turn. That seems more than I remember? I have not checked the oil as I don't see any signs of oil leakage. Whatcha all say?

Thanks.

OK, I just answered my own question. I found it on my iMac.

I wonder if they open up on their own. I better check the rears also.

Anyone else run into this?

I doubt they are moving on their own unless they are a very loose fit.

You may have opened them for cooler weather, warmer weather you need to close them but leave 1/8-1/4 open if my memory serves me

I agree, just a thought. Anyway I adjusted them to ¼ turn and try them out next time I get the car out. If that doesn't work, I will check the oil level.
