Koni Shocks....
I was told by a mechanic that the Koni shocks are adjustable so I can lower my car... Is this true? He told me how low are the springs I have, and I said 2".. he said ok so I can lower my car with the shocks 5" if I wanted. Is he right? It seems very stupid and untrue to me... Thanx guys.

Rep Power: 310 Konis Sports(yellows)are adjustable dampers that allow you to adjust the firmness, they dont set the ride height. However, the rears do come with a circlip that allows you to set the rear perch height at the stock setting, or about 1" higher in case you carry heavy loads or tow.

Rep Power: 0 SOME koni's have height-adjustment circlip grooves that let you adjust ride height for the front and rear
On 7G civic's the front is only a strut insert : it can not modify the height of the spring perch. For that reason they don't offer height adjustment
The rear shock does have 2 circlip grooves. The lower groove is equivalent to stock height and another which is HIGHER than stock for ppl who have heavy audio gear and / or tow heavy stuff.
The ride with Konis is MUCH much better than with stock shocks, no question about it.

If its just a groove that the circlip sits in to adjust height can't you just take it to a machine shop and have multiple grooves made so you can fine tune the height exactly where you want it?
I know it would be a hassle to reassemble through trial an error but you could get the perfect stance without coilovers.
