Hi Andrew,
I'm going to make a couple of assumptions here, even though i don't usually like to assume anything...
I'm going to assume you have bilstein shocks on your car and want to know if the valving (dampening) is adjustable...
I've been around shocks in offroad applications for many years and i don't know of any externally adjustable bilstein shocks. The valving is adjustable internally as the shocks are rebuildable so it is possible to dismantle them and replace the shim stack to suit your needs, how ever this is not a job for just anybody!...
You can get some bilstein struts that are advertised as adjustable but this is merely a ride height adjustment via the positioning of the coil spring on the strut.

Thanks Ruffy
You assume correct. I find my bilsteins too firm and crap on corrugations.
Think I'll just replace them with something else..
cheers
