Second, if you are asking how does it work, it means you are not ready to even need/use it. Hell, you don't even have equipment to help you use the reservoir for the second adjustment.

Lastly, adjusting compression is something YOU do not want to touch, especially when you mention STREET use. Most common coilovers are adjusted to assume you are going to use it on the street. If you don't know what you're doing and you're just using Gran Turismo 5 specs, a pot hole will make the car stupidly unstable.


Most of the members here will just give you the trip of the iceberg when it comes to suspension tuning, but when you delve something that is more "professional track" oriented, then you really should stop reading marketing flyers from websites and start using your own independent judgment on these parts, one piece at a time (a coilover has like a ton of pieces).
