    Adjusting Koni Yellows

    I'm looking to lower the front of my car a little bit. I have Koni Yellow's. How do you adjust the fronts?

    Adjusting your Konis won't have any effect on ride height.

      Shocks dictate damping, springs dictate ride hight.

          And the other thing to understand about Koni SA shocks is that the adjustment only affects rebound damping. Which is how fast the shock extends after being compressed. The ideal setting will be just enough to prevent the springs from oscillating as the car traverses a rough surface. More than that allows the suspension to "stack" and not follow variations in the road's surface.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            Funny that Koni NA told me you had to remove the fronts to adjust them on an e30 so I bought BS Sports..again.
