Of course it makes a difference. The problem is that difference is highly non-linear and varies from damper to damper. So your front right at 15 clicks could be completely different than the left at 15 clicks. This is a problem common to almost all needle valve adjusted dampers, but is especially bad on budget systems.

Again. Wrong spring rates for this car.

To OP-Mike and Andy are right. Damper quality is THE single most important thing for having a suspension system that rides well and performs well. And it's exactly where most budget systems fall flat on their faces. Highly non-linear adjustments, performance that varies greatly from damper to damper, performance that changes significantly as the shock body/fluid/gas changes temperature, performance drop off as the shock [easily] overheats. Head over to NASIOC and read about the kind of issues people have had with Megan/BC (Same company originally, I don't know now) products.

What is the correct spring rate for this car?
