Actually, no they aren't adjustable like that. Koni yellows turn about 1 3/4 turn full soft to full hard. If you can go two turns, it means the valving inside is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Don't bother rebuilding it if its a stock or Neuspeed yellow, just buy a new one. A rebuild costs about $150-200.

that probably explains why i press on that side it makes a sqeeky noise. not sure if i just want to replace the two fronts or just get a whole new coilover system.

i like the way it handles but its not very comfortable on the streets.

everyone hates on tein ss but i hear its good as far as comfortabilty
