    koni adjustable rear shocks

    anyone on here know how they are supposed to be adjusted ?
    there is a warning stamped on them saying
    "remove bump rubbers before adjustment"
    but no clue as to how the adjustment is done

    not sure on these, but some similar Koni shocks require fully compressing then turning of the piston

    Like Justin says on the clio ones there is a button next to the rod

    you push it in then twist the shock. You only have 3 settings on the rear

    they are deffo adjustable mate ,it says on them :D
    they came with black plastic knob things that screw to the top
    of the piston rod (the shock at the bottom has it in the pic )
    inside the plastic knob ,there are 2 nuts . may be some sort
    of lock nut system to spin the piston rod ?

    tried to pull the dust covers out with no luck ,i am not sure whether
    they are fixed there or just holding on rust .

    Probably anti-clockwise is softer. Should be able to tell by hand compressing them on different settings

    it makes even more sense now as you would not be able to
    fully compress them with the bump stops in place

    as you keep turning the piston ,is there an indicator that tells
    when you reach the max/min points of adjustment ?
