guys with tokico illumas please read.

Hmm, good qusetion. Yeah it doesnt stop at any point. Only thing I can think of is trial & error. Bounce the car up & down and then turn it, and bounce it up & down again. If its firmer then go from there.

One thing I remember back when I got mine is that I was told you cant go from directly from 1-5 or 5-1, you have to go all the way around for it to be correct. I'd call tokico honestly, cuz I dont know if there is any way of knowing.

What you have to do is determine where position 1 and 5 are. This is easily done with the shock out of the car, by hand. Since 1 and 5 are next to each other, you will have two positions that will vary greatly. You can turn the dial counter-clockwise, as well as clockwise. Once they are determined by the feel of compressing the shock by hand, you can mark positions 1 and 5 with some white out on the shaft. Every other position is now known, because the adjuster will never line up at the white marks unless 1 or 5 is selected.
