Default How do you adjust progressive 944 shocks?

Just picked up a used set on Craigs, and want to zero them out. Can't find the directions on progressive site.

Twist the collar at the top end of the shock.

Installed...going for a ride shortly.

I assume if the color is adjusted towards the sky that minimizes preload? Am I right?

Correct. Just installed a new set, no ride time with them yet though.

Awesome....thanks. These are the HD ones so I'm a little concerned of being too firm, but I weigh 250 and the woman weighs 120 so we'll see.

Post up your results!! I also went with the HD, judging by the initial bounce checking sag i'm almost at minimum preload for the springs. But I like a firmer ride so should be ok.
