Default weird question about adjusting Koni Yellows

Hey guys,

I was just adjusting my Koni Yellows when I thought about something. Would it make any difference if I adjusted the shocks with the car on the ground or from up in the air? would it matter if the shock was partially compressed (car on ground) or if the shock was not compressed at all (car in the air)?

I was thinking that it probably dosen't make a difference, but I just thought I'd check.

TIA

For those of us running the '88 rear dampers which are not externally adjustable, the piston must be fully compressed for adjustments. The externally adjustable Konis (with the little white ****) do not have to be compressed or extended to be adjusted as far as I know.

Double check by asking this guy: https://honda-tech.com/zero...27915

Which ones are they and where did you get them? I heard rumors that they were available in the European market, and Koni can do the conversion in their shop. I would love to have that option for my rears.
