Not sure how the 'infinite clicks' of the adjustment for koni sport shocks work, help please.

 

There are no clicks. People usually adjust in 1/4 turn increments. Some say that they can even feel the difference at 1/8 turns, but I wouldn't worry about that.

The best way I found to learn how to adjust them was turn them all down to full soft and drive around for a little while. Then turn them all to full stiff & drive around for a while. This will give a really good idea of what the difference is between soft & stiff. Then you can find a happy medium somewhere in the middle.

Front & rear can be different settings, but they must always be the same side to side. Just count the number of turns from full soft, and make sure you have the same side to side.

 

Still a little confused, if they are infinite clicks, how do i know where to start? Isn't there no soft/stiff ending?
What if someone messes around with it?

 

The adjuster stops at both ends, full soft and full stiff.

Then you turn it back to full soft, and count turns to adjust back where you want.

2000 GSR, 400/400 rates. I run the rears 1/4 turn from full soft and the fronts 1/2 turn from full soft. For auto-x use, if I need more corner entry rotation, I crank up the rears to anywhere from 1 turn from soft to full stiff, depending on track and mood.

 

then what is 'infinite' about the koni shocks, this is what im confused about.

 

Because it's not called "infinite clicks". It's called an infinite number of adjustments within a finite range. There are no fixed increments, only one smooth adjustment.

 

Okay so infinite number of adjustments within a infinite range?... what the heck does that mean... lol and what do you mean no fixed increments... its so confusing.

 

There are no clicks. Think about it as a faucet ****. You can control the amount of water coming out by any interval you desire until you reach maximum. On the konis you can adjust the rebound at any interval you desire.

 

Oh i see, so theres nothing 'infinite' about it right??(the koni adjustments itself) because i hear a lot of phrases coming from konis of something that is infinite, just not quite sure what.

 

The number of positions is completely dependent on your ability to turn the ****. If you can turn the **** in infinitely small increments, then you can have an infinite number of settings.

And PIC Performance didn't say it was an infinite range. He said it was a finite range. That's the complete opposite of infinite. It's an infinite number of adjustments inside a finite range. Very simple...

 

So a little turn goes a long way basically?..

 

 

LOL, man this is funny.

Think of it this way, most coilovers with stiffness adjusting ***** CLICK. Therefore, you are clicking the **** into a pre-determined stiffness. Lets say I have a coilover that the **** will click 13 times if I go from full soft to full stiff. That means I have 13 different settings for my shocks to run at.

On the other hand, the koni shocks work almost the same. The difference is when turning the **** from full stiff to full soft there are NO CLICKS. Therefor, you can turn the **** to whatever position you please. Since there are no predetermined clicks, you can put the **** in WHATEVER position you want, which gives you an infinite amount of settings.

 

Here, I even made you a picture in photoshop.

 

Basically what they're saying is theres no "Preset" click djustments. Like the guy said above, think of it was a faucet. The faucet is all the way closed, nothing comes out, use that as the "Soft side". You turn it on a little tiny bit, water comes out slowly, thats going stiffer. Theres no preset water output settings on a faucet its just a handle that opens more as you turn it, just as the konis do.


Theres not a infinite amount of adjustments, just a infinite amount of adjustments between the softest and stiffest settings.

 

wow warhawk props to your patience!

 

thanks

 

I'm gonna favorite this thread. Will come in handy when someone else ask about Koni shocks.

 

no problem, but please tell me you understand now!!! lol.

yeah I was studying for finals so I decided to take a break and make a little diagram.

 

this is good.. lol

 

 

i was just about to slit my wrists when he got it

 

LOL!! Facepalm.
