Rebound firmness... They're one-way adjustible -- so you can only adjust 
the firmness of rebound, not jounce.
Jounce is initial upward travel from bump, rebound is downward.

Perfect, I have the same combo and love it.  Ride quality is excellent, 
dampening is excellent.  With my 16V, I keep front on full hard and rears 
on 1/4 hard.

shox.com?



>- What's up with filling the shock tube with oil?, cooling?

You got it! :)

Have fun and good luck with 'em!
