Adjusting rear koni's

Post by Valandis91 »

im looking into fiddling around with m suspension set up as im not quite happy with it.
ive got my fronts set up nicel as they are very easy to adjust but my rears are a bit more of a pain.
i have to pull out the shock compress it and twist to adjust it.

to do this do i need a spring compressor or anything?

how would i go about it?

Best way is to take it to a good work shop that knows how to set them up and get them to do it for you.
What would take us a day to do would be a 30 min job for them.

I'd recommend a shop too, but if you wanna do it at home, you just need a set of spring compressors.

I have done the rears still on car before, but its a pain in ass:

Usually around the $50 mark from most auto shops.
