I have a set of these and believe they are adjustable? There isn't any info I can find on here about them. Anyone?

Well that's more than I knew already! Thanks for the reply. What adjustments are those, just firmness I take it? Are they height adjustable?
Also, on the fronts above the topmounts I have camber adjustment. Is that part of the ohlin strut?

I've had two sets of these and I hope you live somewhere where the roads are completely smooth because the ride can only be described as uncompromising.

yes, they are a bit bouncy!
Pics as requested. So im guessing turning this little knob 'righty tighty' will make my back worse, and 'lucy lefty' less so?

These are the mated top mounts, look like tein. Anyone know what these do for the suspension?
