As it turns out, the rear e30 Konis are not externally adjustable, so you will need to remove them from the car, compress them, and then rotate the adjuster tab on the top of the piston to adjust the valving. These shocks do not require special rear RSMs for that reason.

ok-- so if i need to adjst i would have to do this everytime --?
2 questions:
1. what is the default setting?
2. can i just specify that i have IE stage 3's and have it valved from koni and be done ?

[nickmp0wer]

could we pay extra to have adjustable rears?

Ok folks, small update. I'm waiting on a call back on the iX setup. I don't deal very much with the iX in a performance sense, so I should get a call back about that one shortly.

yah im sure TCK has no idea what they're doing... the rubber one is for street/performance, they also have a solid pivot-ball for track/race apps only..

Blah blah blah, talk out your ass some more.

All I said is that I do not want rubber.

Rubber lol. No thanks.

Urethane/solid please.

can GC valve ix koni's to work with a coilover setup. Its not listed on the site but i want to do a custom setup and was curious if they would do that.

alex can tell you about coilovers and iX cars. I'd pm him and see if he can help you out.

Jason, please let us know what RSM's we are going to need. I will purchase them now as to avoid any mishaps later...

I found the konis elsewhere. I'm backing out of this group buy. Sorry.

[JPbmw]

is there a difference in between shocks for lowering springs and for coil over set-ups? right now i have lowering springs but i plan to go with coilover later on.

I still want to know if the rears require a special RSM if they are top adjustable.

Based on my limited experience, I think I can say yes. My top-adjustable GC shocks have a 12mm shaft. You will need to either buy 12mm RSMs (from GC or http://www.tcklineracing.com/monoball.htm, maybe others) or drill out a 10mm RSM.
