Hey I just bought Megan coilovers used..

I was wondering how you adjust the damp? There is suppose to be a like a knob at the top of the coils right? Or am I crazy. Thanks for looking. And hoping for pictures to help me thank you.

there is supposed to be a knob. however the knob is just on the end of a long allen wrench. They can be easily pulled out. If you don't have those contact the seller.

It might be worth your time to PM member macbuddy, if your Fit is a GD3. He bought a used set of Megan coils for his and had some difficulty obtaining the missing parts. I don't know if he is still on the Megan's or has gone onto some other dampers by now.

Contact Megan Racing, City of Industry, CA

clumsy,
You basically need hex keys to adjust these dampers, but the correct knobs can be found at Megan Racing.
Contact these guys, they will most likely have these parts on hand.

Megan Racing

The knobs come in different reach lengths, so make sure you let them know which dampers you have. Theoretically, you should only need one knob to adjust all four dampers, but that is not the case. I chose to get all 4, one for each damper. However, if you have a GD3 like me, you can get by with 1 knob for the rear, if you don't mind swapping between the 2 dampers. You WILL need 2 for the front set, as the cowl will not allow you to remove them once they are installed.
On my way to San Diego, I stopped by their store/warehouse to place my order, and to have them inspect my "used" dampers. They were busy that day. Those guys were either swamped with phone calls, or running around, filling orders. Once they were free, they were extremely helpful and friendly.
All of my questions were answered, and I was able to get all the parts that I needed.
