i just got my new set of koni adjustable shocks in the mail (part number KON-80401088) and the box did not have instructions inside anywhere. summit is sending me some new instructions in the mail, but i'd like to get them installed sooner than that.

does anyone know how to adjust these shocks?

thanks
Rick

They should havepointed you to the Koni web site... graemlins/beers.gif

thanks! I looked on the site, but apparently not hard enough.

I appreciate the help graemlins/hurray.gif

Funny how web designers hide things... Instead of placing all the info on koni.com, they have koni-na.com (north america) a completely different domain name with more info there...

If you have good quality springs you may want to run the softest setting for street use. I found anything else made the ride too harsh (Hotchkis front and rear). For open track laps the next level of stiffness might increase overall handling though.

well i spoke too soon, their instructions for adjusting the shocks are hard to follow. I cannot conquer step 1. my goal is to get it to the softest setting becuase im trying to loosen up the rear suspension so i have better weight transfer.

I'm going to keep fiddling with it to see if can figure it out, but anyone who has experience adjusting these please chime in.

They are making more of it than necessary, it's easy. The top half of the shock is called the dust cover. There may be a chunk of rubber up under it and around the shaft. If there is, remove it or you can't adjust the shocks. Next collapse the shock and holding the lower portion and turn the dust cover. You should be able to feel the adjuster (expand the shock an inch or so and turn the dust cover to see the difference). To the right is firmer and to the left is softer. You will also know if are on the adjuster if the dust cover won't turn any further in one direction or the other. They should be factory set in the softest position so you should only be able to turn the dust cover to the right...

You don't have drag shocks so don't expect them to work like the spa1 drag shocks...
