    Ground Control Question...

    How do you adjust the Koni's?
    I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

        the knob? Yeah they should have, but you can just as easily turn the little stub with some pliers. Just remember that counterclockwise is firmer.

          gah, they might be getting a nasty email from me. It took them 2 weeks for them to set up my GCs, and now I'm not even getting all the parts. WTF.

            Are you sure your shocks are top adjustable? My rear Koni's adjust by rotating the body while compressed.

              Hmmm, I thought I ordered the adjustable shocks. Looking at the receipt it says Single Adjustable Strut/Shock.

                Shit, looking at what I ordered I guess it wasn't what I thought?

                    just look at the top of the struts/shocks and see if there is a little stub to turn

                    should look like this

                      Yah mine looks like that. One of the guys called me, and told me he forgot to send them, so he's going to send them. So now I'm happy that I know they are adjustable, and I didn't mistakenly order something else lol.

                      And the guy that called said someone else is going to call about why they took so long, which isn't a big concern anymore since I already have them.

                      Now my question is, will it be as stiff as I hope?

                      Oh Skinny, how come your top adjuster piece comes out so far? I don't think mine comes out that far...

                        What spring rates did you get, what are you using your car for and what weight reduction have you done?

                        Not sure, I sent my strut housings to GC and had them shorten/assemble/powdercost everything. The camber plates have been changed since I bought mine so that might change the stack height a little.

                          I'm running 650 in the front, 800 in the rear. John, Jay, and Frank(?) have helped me wonderfully! Ground control has such great customer service!

                              Yeah, grond control has excellent customer service. That'll be super stiff if its a daily though...
