    Just checked - I'm 14 clicks from full soft on the front, 6 clicks from full soft on the rear (on an R53).

    Martin on MT has a great thread with his feedback on Meisters, well worth a read - http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f663...-review-17073/

    To access the top adjusters, you need to drill small holes in the chassis to feed the extended adjusters through, then you can adjust them with the supplied extenders from the panels either side of the boot. Part of the joys of Meisters is the adjustability


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    The teins are easy to adjust at the front but not so easy at the rear well for r53 but I am guessing that the 56 has an almost identical rear subframe /suspension setup so will be a pain as well

    Why is it a pain at the rear is the adjustment a dial on the top of the strut? On the front can it be adjusted by just opening the bonnet on the tein website there is something about a needle adjuster

    With BC RC coilovers (on the Clubvan) you get extension's so you can adjust the rears
    The cars in front are New MINI Scotland

    Yes exactly the dial is on top of the strut that when fitted is inside the chassis leg
    Front is just as easy as you said open the bonet and adjust
