Im pretty sure the type flex are 16 way adj. Some coils will continue to click farther. Your better off setting them back at 0 and count each turn. Dont exceed 16 or you will risk damage.

turn clockwise all the way until it stops. You shouldn't turn anti clockwise more than 16 clicks.

Yes, that's normal. Like one suggested above, set it at 0 setting clock wise (Stiffest), then turn clicks counter clock wise. It will turn more than 16 clicks but would not recommend it as spring rate is 12/10.... I use 9 clicks from stiffest and it is good! Also, make sure to tighten the bottom ring to lock the strut/shock body (both front and rear) as it is not tightened from the factory. Also, don't forget to measure the strut/shock body height to Tein recommendation before locking (It's in the instruction)... This will save your as* off from any structure failure as well as strut/shock body rotating over the time... Tein instruction also has the recommended height setting for upper perch on spring setting which you can measure off the car.... I have raised 1/2 inch on the front and 1/4 inch in the back, higher than their recommended setting and car runs 100% better than stock MR suspension. Also, make sure to get alignment and corner balance if you have $... My alignment was very little off from factory spec....

This is the best mod for EVO in my opinion....
