adjusting Konis
How exactly do I adjust my koni's (if they are all adjustable).Can you do it on the car?, is there a start position to go from so you know you got them all equal?.
Also does anyone have a preferred setting? ( I want them quite stiff but the roads round my way are rough as $%"@). They are ok now but Id like to have a play and see if I could improve

re konis
Damn wish Id asked before i fitted them. If I jack the car up do you think the shock would be fully extended or will the suspension setup not allow it

Re: adjusting Konis
the springs will have to come off on the fronts
compress all the way down and turn, you will feel it engage
i think anticlockwise is minus
i have mine a bit softer
2, 1/2 turns from 0 on the front and 3 on the rear
there used to be a pdf of the instructions of their website but that was years ago

re konis
thanks, found the write up on the net now
. Think they'll stay as they are for now til I find an excuse to take em off. Just had the car tracked today, had'nt got it done since lowering and it feels much better now

Re: adjusting Konis
the rears are the easyest to adjust
so if you want a bit more turn in the take them up a notch
