they don't have a knob on them, you likely have to remove them, push them closed, and then twist the shaft, to clik to the various settings.
Summit has likely had a shock mfgr private brand thier shocks w/ the Summit name on them. That way they can use thier own pricing and not get the mfgr aggravated...

I tried a set of these last summer and was not impressed. I could only get one to adjust properly. I now use Lakewood non adjustable for the track, they simply work as expected. You get what you pay for.

I have a set like this branded as Herb Adams shock. I have to adjust them as written above.
I think mine are going dead. If I raise the car with a jack the front suspension stays in extension until I push the bumper back donw.
Guess shocks need to be added to the list...
