Assuming even centers friction... you can get plenty even enough by feel. But if you want to get really into it, there are several types of gauges available to measure this kind of thing. I generally pull the spring well back and check the damper center by feel to see its in the ball park, no wobble but easy movement, and then set dampers by feel. You could probably use a downweight measurer easily enough if you took the appropriate considerations to the rest of the action. Cheers RicB I know how to reduce or increase the tension it is getting it even that I'm wondering about...some sort of gram gauge pulling on the damper? Maybe it is simply trying to pull the spring towards you the same amount for each damper? David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044
