Make sure you trun teh damper andjuster fully anti clockwise (DO NOT FORCE AS YOU WILL DAMAGE THE DAMPER) then turn clockwise 10 clicks and allow a week to settle before tuning in.

You need to set them to base to make sure they are then adjusted evenly.
10 clicks is about the right to start with. The one week of use before futher ajustment is get to let everything settle. If it should feel way off then there is no harm making adjustments before hand

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
These dampers are significantly better than the adjustable Spax I had before I've found... but don't run them on the most undamped setting, they truly are undamped!

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
Havent had the time to fit them yet but i'll do the 10 clicks and let them settle in. Also i have been looking at some seats and harnesses, was looking at some corbeau or sparco ones on ebay. Thoughts anyone? And then i am going to be getting blue harnesses, either 4 or 3 point

Niiiiiice!
Gotta say these tow-straps are becoming popular, i copied off jon_ovlov . saw a boyracer who had looped the nylon part over something under the car and was dragging the matal plate along the floor thinking he was the boy!
As for mounting it, there are holes in the trumpets behind the front bumper, or ive seen a plate welded across the original front tow hook with a hole drilled in.
