Koni Yellow - Adjustment
 
To those who have/had these shocks; can they be adjusted post install? If so, how easy is it?

Thanks in advance.

I think the KONI yellows have knobs on the top for adjustment. I believe the fronts will be easy to adjust, but the rears will have to be removed to adjust it.

the rear koni shocks dont need to be removed. Simply raise the rear of the car so you can have access to the very top of the shocks from there you can adjust using the supplied mini allen wrench/key and follow the adjustment diagram.

Thanks for the info guys.

I'm deciding on Koni's or the Euro Tuned Sport shocks (the new 2013 Sport package ones).

Price wise I think Koni's are a better investment since the Euro Tuned Sport socks are around 700 or so...

Not thread highjacking hahaha but what settings are you guys using on your yellows? I know this is dependent on setups and personal feel but i'm just curious.

I'm going to do what was recommended to me in the Swift Springs Review thread; which is: 1 click bellow middle in the front, and middle in the rear.

EDIT:

I'll adjust it from there of course.

Full soft front and rear on the street.

On the track I run one and a half turns up front (75%). The rears are hard to explain if you do not already own a set of Koni's. Basically, you stick a small allen wrench into the opening at the top of the shock and use it as a lever to tighten or soften the shock. I do two turns in the rear (aprox 30%).

Full soft as in all the way to the top?

I don't understand what you mean by "all the way to the top".

Well you move/rotate/torque something in one or the other direction, one direction lets say up over the 'middle setting' is the top and below the middle setting is the bottom.

So what I meant was, adjust towards the top (highest setting from the middle point) and therefore make it softest.

Question:

The koni's give you an additional drop right? With swifts (that already sit pretty low) that will probably be significant yeah?

No. The Koni's give you no extra drop.
