How to adjust Koni rear shocks (1G)

[sunflashx]

The Koni rears don't appear to have any sort of a reference point. I played with them a bit and now have no idea where they came shipped at.

How does one tell where you are in the adjustment range?

I guess I just missed it. Once you get a feel for messing with the adjustment on the shock it's not that confusing and there are stops in the adjustment range.

The instructions on Konis web site are helpful. The ones they package with the shocks are nearly useless.

wat did you adjust your konis too... i just got them installed and don't know if i should put them on 100% stiff or not... my car is a daily driver and im just looking for a little street performance

They ride really well on my car, so I would suggest more on the stiff side of things.

I don't remember how many turns it was, but it was about half-way. I'm going to adjust them to about 3/4 someday when I feel like messing with it.

You did remove the shocks to adjust them right?

I adjusted them before I put them on. They haven't been adjusted since.

so you cant adjust the shocks while they are installed on the car?

I don't believe that you can. Years ago the Koni front/AGX rear was a popular combo because of this.

They must be removed to he adjusted.

If you have coils it's not a big deal at all to pull them off. If you have a stock replacement spring kit you'd have to screw around with the spring compressor and all that to take them apart. That'd probably be a pain.
