    Default TrakSPAX shocks

    Anyone have experience with these? They are double adjustable shocks but I can't find a manual online. Which knob does what? Which direction does what?

    TIA

    I'm going to guess at Blue = Bump, Red = Rebound
    Cheers,

    Thanks Tim.
    I saw that but it doesn't answer my question about which knob does what in each direction. I guess I can bounce on it and figure it out.

    Ha! That was going to be my 'if all else fails' suggestion...

    ... but I'm definitely liking:

    Blue for Bump
    Red for Rebound

    While that would make sense, I'm a "read the directions" kind of guy. A manual helps someone who's not that bright, especially when it comes to race car stuff!

    I zoomed in on the images in the link provided, they do indicate a "+" and "-" direction, but not function

    I did find a couple blurbs on the internet that indicated "blue" = Bump, "red" = rebound

    I love a challenge. I finally found something using the search
    "spax blue red double knobs bump rebound”

    https://classic-suspension.com/spax_...n_dampers.html
    look under “double adjustable” flyout

    the shocks look pretty nice.

    I'm normally pretty new-school for internet searches to find out what I need to know...

    ...but have you considered just calling Spax to ask?

    As an engineer in real life, calling someone to ask was not a thought. In retrospect, that might have saved a bit of time....
