Alright, so my car is lowered on ground control coilovers with KONI struts, and there is about an inch of clearance from the tire to the wheel well. What I'm wondering is the struts are set right now to be very hard (i hit a bump and it's a tough sports car Feel). Am i able to safely decrease the resistance in the strut so my car will ride more smoothly safely with it's current clearance, or would i have to raise the car back up to do that?
 
You can always go a few clicks softer or harder without changing the ride height. Just do a click at a time till you get the result your looking for. If for some reason it bottoms out to easy, you might wanna think of raising the car up alittle.

The adjustment for Koni's is for rebound only. If you want a smoother ride, you'll need softer springs.
