I got myself some cusco zero 2 coilovers and 3 of them don't have any stickers indicating which position the dampening is set at. Is there a way to tell what setting it currently is? I can literally keep turning the adjuster (using flat head screwdriver) and it won't stop in any direction whether clockwise or counter clockwise.

sounds like that damper was over tightened at one point and is no longer adjustable. see if you can replace just teh center piece

Just for those ever running into this problem, i just called cusco and they said the zero 2 model is specifically designed to adjust endlessly whether it be clockwise or counter clockwise. I guess it make sense since all of my struts are this acting this way.

Thats kind of weird. How will you know if you have the dampening set up the same?

If you click it clockwise their is one point where their is a longer gap between clicks. When you pass the long gap between clicks, you will be on setting one.

That's because the 'clicks' are arbitrary clicks on a little turn plate. You probably only have 5 adjustments total or so.
With all coilovers, just back them ALL the way off front and rear, and then give the front a full turn (regardless of clicks)
