Question about the rebound they dont work like gas shock (push in and the come out quickly)
I push them down and they come out slowly is that right (first time koni user)
Koni Reds aren't straight gas shocks, they are hydraulic/gas shocks (have both oil and gas in them), so they extend slower than gas shocks due to the oil, but still extend on their own due to the gas in them. From memory, Yellows are oil only, and basically don't extend by themselves at any sort of speed unless you pull them open.
This is what the adjustment has the most effect on - the speed at which the shock will extend. To get a better feel for how much damping there is grab both ends of the shock and actually pull it open by hand.
Thanks Zeddophile, Thats just the info i was looking for (what don,t you know about zeds)
Once i fit the struts and take for test drive do i have to take them out again to re-adjust
or can you do it with them still in the car.
Unfortunately, yes you have to pull them out to adjust. Worst thing about having struts - the fact that you have to pull the spring off every bloody time you want to get at a shock. Thats why I'd suggest starting a bit back from maximum - better to end up on the soft side in damping rather than the hard side, especially if you don't have time to pull them back out and readjust. Glad my Alfetta doesn't have struts, can do shock adjustment on car by undoing the bottom of the shock!
As for what I don't know about zeds? Lots of things, and getting to be more every day since I had to dispose of mine. Koni Red/Yellows, however, I have adjusted a lot of
p.s also got 2 koni sticker's with the shocks. Where would be the best place (on the car)
to stick these for the Maximum Performance
On the front brake discs, for 2 reasons:
1. You go faster when you can't stop.
2. It'll look like you drive fast and brake hard when they catch on fire!
