If they're my old ones they've done the rounds :lol:

They were sold to me as JDM basics, so stupidly stiff springs but no adjustment

You've said before, there basics. But i swear down, there are dampening adjusting on the top of them! I will investigate further and find out 100% but im so so sure.

They do have the bit on the top that would suggest they are dampening adjustable, same sort of set-up as Koni adjustables.

But i think the adjustable teins have an inverted adjuster that goes into the top rather than on the outside.

I know what you mean though, and you might be right.

If you look at this pic of my engine bay, you can see the adjuster on the top of my coilover with a rubber cap on it to allow easier turning of the adjuster.

If your coilovers don't have this sticking out of the top, then they will be Tein Basics.

No there not adjustable. That's to remove the tophats. They are OEM tophats.
