Default KW Clubsport adjustment help

Does anyone here have a set of the KW Clubsport struts and shocks?

I've found the bump adjustment at the bottom of the body, but the only thing that looks like another adjustment is an allen bolt at the top of the external reservoir which is labeled "do not open". Is this the rebound adjustment?

Thanks very much. Headed to the track for the weekend.

I have KW V3 Clubsports on my GT3...

No, that's not the rebound adjustment on the external canister!

Rebound is on the very top of each shock; you have to take the rear shelf carpet out and the plastic disc on top of the front shock towers to access the adjustment once the shocks are mounted.

This weekend was actually the third time out with the car which had the shocks already installed when I bought it.

I LOVE the car, though it's certainly much more of a challenge to drive well than other cars I've owned or driven.

Didn't really have time to mess with the shocks. Was working as CDI, had my own student and trying to support wife driving the race car for the weekend.

Hopefully, I'll get to another event where I don't have other tasks to perform and have the chance to fine tune the shock settings.

Thanks again for the help!

Joe
