Quick question, how do you adjust koni?

[Guest vizcounty]

Hello Guys,

 

I just got a set of KONI shocks, how many click can I adjust them? Which way is stiffer? Thanks,

 

Tony

 

Also do you think running GC coilovers with F175 and R200 too soft for this combo? Im currently running F300 and R350 with blown rear shocks, I bought the car that way. Still thinking whether I should go with softer springs or stiffer. I dont have roll bar or anything in the car so im kinda worry running stiff springs. The car also has 27mm Front sway bar and 19mm in the rear. Thank you again

Those look really long. Make sure they will fit. The top adjuster gets turned counter-clockwise to make the shock stiffer.

Thanks John,

 

Does adjustable koni shocks has number of clicks like the illuminas?

So counter clockwise is stiffer and clockwise is softer.

 

I dont need to jack up the car when I want to adjust them right? but I need to loosen the top nut and then adjust it using a allen wrench?

Thanks,

 

Tony

I don't recall if they have a click or just turn. I've been runnign Penskes for so long I've forgot what normal shocks are like. CW is stiffer and CCW is softer. Don't try to turn them past their limits.

 

No need to jack up the car. Are the shocks in the picture double adjustable?

On my Koni's I have to compress the strut all the way down in order to adjust, if not it doesn't turn the valve. Kind of a hasle comparred to Illumina's but once it's set it's set.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the replies. I just found out that I need to unbolt the top nut and also jack the car up to adjust the koni because the the shape of the bolt is "D" shape and in order to turn the shaft, I will need to get the strut shaft down.

 

Clifton,

Does the Koni shocks have number of clicks like the illuminas?

 

And to confirm, which way is stiffer, clockwise or counter clockwise because John just wrote two different things. Im confused now. Thank you for your time,

Mine don't have the click like the Tokicos. Clock wise stiffens. They will only go so far either way though. The difference between all the way stiff and soft is enough that you will notice when you go to pull the shaft back out.

Sorry! Clockwise (screwing the adjuster in) is stiffer.
