No — shocks do not require ECU tuning. You adjust ride quality by hand-threading preload and adjusting rebound damping.
Yes. Preload is adjusted by hand-threading the collar, and rebound damping has a separate adjustment screw — no special tools required.

The shocks seem super nice, but they are incredibly stiff. Turns out they’re 130/200 top to bottom. Would be nice to have an option to choose your spring rate. Couldn’t find it in the description either. Have them installed on a 1998 sportster 1200 by the way. I’m about 180lbs and they don’t move at all, my friend who weighs about 260 also said they were way to firm. Hope this helps.
