Default Just installed Koni yellows....luv'em!!

I got koni yellows used from a member here for $300 (he thre in some tein s-tech but they were for a G35...too bad). I just got F1 motorsports to install them and the ride is as good as everyone says...the annoying bouncy ride is gone. now she glides like she's on ice . i had her set at the lowest setting all around but it already handles better than stock. i can't imagine how much better she'll be once i turn up the ****. all i need now are sway bars and i'll be good...maybe some stickier rubber too. all my buddies have konis and they always seem to love them...plus you can always get them sent to be revalved after too many trips to the track.

for anyone not wanting coilovers....this shock is definately a great choice!

NIce, I had the yellows on my old mustang. I was going to get the coilovers this time but I'm always open to different options.

i think coilovers are great. they give you more options...but i'm on a 'married budget' so $ that goes to my car are very limited. i looked into tokico dpecs as well but found that the konis were getting more raves...plus the ability to send them back to koni to get revalved is a major plus!!

Default how do you adjust the rears?

I just bought some used konis. how do you adjust the rears? I see the slot that looks like it car be turned left to right or right to left. do you turn it one direction until it gets to a full stop to set full hard or full soft and then adjust from there? How many stops?

Thanks in advance.

Do the konis just improve the right quality or can you lower your car with them as well?? (stock springs)

Default Koni rear

The rears are adjusted through the slot. If you look closely you will see a + and - on the housing. Rears adjusted opposite from left to right side.
