300ex front shocks

[300ex#5]

hey i was just wondering how I adjust the front shocks on my 300ex...i need them stiffer

turn this thing to make them stiffer.

well wat do u turn it with?

either make a shock tool or your besty bet is to look for a 400ex front suspension cause when your shocks get to that point they are ready to break off trust em on that one had them stiff and they snapped

get a pair of channel locks and grab it tight and turn it.

make sure you go from 1-2-3-4-5 or visaversa. going directly from 1-5 will mess them up. If you get 400 shocks, that means you need 400 a-arms, tie rods, and the shock relocator bracket.

i know what i need to do it and i am pretty sure i can get my hands on the stuff for a good price
