Koni adjustable dampers

[Dragon Dave 1]

My Koni dampers arrived today, the fronts have a key to adjust them and can be adjusted on the car but the backs don't. It seems that I have to adjust these before fitting to the car.

The instructions say that I compress the shock and then turn up to 720 degrees. I don't know where I should set them to start with and I don't want to have to take them back off to adjust them. I was thinking of setting them in the middle.

I'm running on 205/40/17 and will be fitting Powerflex bushes when the suspension is fitted.

Does any one else have these shocks? If you do, where have you set your rear shocks and what is the ride like?

Thanks

I've just bought a used Koni SSK Sport kit which has these dampers and Vogtland progressive 30mm drop springs. I've got standard suspension with an Eibach ARB kit fitted. As that has made the ride a bit harsher, I was going to put the backs on minimum and then mess around with the fronts.

Be interesting to hear from other folk how they have set the rears and the ride/handling results.

if your close on your ride hight then you will need to be 1&3/4 (rotations) of the way. I run different wheels and that will be firm! but.... Otherwise start off at one to one and a half and then allow yourself one more tweek after everything is settled..

I am on 15s so have a tyre to absorb aswell and am set on 3/4 and whilst firm is fine and not harsh!
