hey everyone, i juss got my koni installed. i was wondering where is a good dampening level to set the shocks. i tried a bunch of setups, but i want the opinion of the other koni owners. Oh btw, when u guys installed ur koni's, did the car get raised? like half an inch or so??

i got mine right in the center, which works good for the springs that are on my car.
Ya the car came up about 1/2 inch or so after the instal but it will settle back down after a while.

yea, i have mine set in the middle as well. im going to have to turn it a notch up though cuz i've noticed that my rear and front bounces a bit. but it's all about personal preference. try all the combinations and see what YOU feel most comfortable with. cuz i might feel that it's the best at the middle yet you might feel it's better when it's stiffened all the way.

How can I adjust the rears cus I dont have that lil **** for the back and the front ones too big to fit. What can I use to adjust it without brakin the lil adjuster.

you dont' have the lil knobo for the back?? meaning you lost it? or never got it? hmm...i guess you can try calling koni and see if they can send you another one? sorry man..cna't help you much there. now that i think of it...i dont remember where i put my adjusters either...

*EDIT* you MIGHT be able to use a wrench or soemthing to turn the adjuster? you MIGHT. but i wouldn't try if i were you...you dont wanna damage it.

I tried it before with one of those needle nose pliers cus thats what they told me to do and I broke it so I ended up gettin another one. Damn theres gotta be a way to adjust it cus I have never really messed with it.

i used plyers...it was a pain in the ***, but oh well, it was worth the effort

u can use your front ones just use a plyers to bend the metal a little thats in the way. otherwise i have a rear one i would sell you for $5 plus s&h

hmm...that's odd, cuz i tried adjusting my rear koni's today...and that metal plating was in the way...even for the rear adjuster ****. both of them didn't fit...dunno why. i guess ill try to bend the metal out of the way...

yeah the metal is in the way for both *****, but if you use the taller ****, u hafta bend the metal more. a rubber mallot and a screwdriver is fine. you could also cut the metal with a snips or better yet a plasma cutter!

I've got the metal bent back enough for the liil **** but since I dont have it Im gonna have to bend it some more.

guys someone pls answer my question from experience... is it true that the koni shocks and struts will lower the car 1/2 an inch again after it settles? or it will just raise it 1/2 inch permanently?

the rear may raise a little bit. i think more like 1/4 inch. but it will take a few days for your springs to settle after having the tension off of them.

that does not really answer the question..

ur car will raise about 1/2 inch intially, but after a few days of driving your springs will settle and lower your car about a 1/4 inch. so after the 1/2 raise and then 1/4 inch drop, ur overall height will raise about 1/4 in. so 1/4 inch raise in the end
