I have a set of Koni shocks that i got a little while back and tonight i pulled them out to take a look at what all the hype was about. So heres the question, How do you adjust them, I see that theres a arrow with a plus on one side and a arrow with a minus on the other. I turned them a couple times and i didnt really notice a difference to them. Did i do something wrong or is there some trick to this?? Or with age does the adjustability go to crap?? They seem to have a good amount of pressure to them. By the way they are from a 87...

Thanks for the help,
Jason

Fronts are adjusted by fully compressing and turning. You will feel the clicks. Rears are adjusted with knob, no need to compress them.

Thanks Guss, + for you!

I had to call Koni when I got my shocks and ask how to adjust the fronts - they said that they get about 5 calls a day asking that exact question.

So that means the rears are koni sports "yellows" and the front are koni specials "reds"?

Mine are reddish front and rear

No. The fronts are shocks, which are "standard adjustable" while the rears are struts, which are "externally adjustable."

I talked to a koni tech and they told me the sports are the only externally adjustable struts/shocks they have. Now have you actually adjusted yours with the knob?

Here are some destructions: http://www.koni-na.com/adjustment.cfm

I have Koni's, front are the "compress and adjust" method mentioned by gusshotrod (direction for firmer/softer adjustment shown in link). Rears are adjusted using a small 'key' (or knob) that fits on top.....like wot Formula88 said.
