i got my set of used gc/konis didn't come with anything else but the shock and the coilover sleeve(4).

My question is how do i adjust the height of the coilover? and the comfort of the shock?
Also: do i need to preload the spring? and how do i do it?

 

you will adjust the height with the bottom perch. and you will adjust the valving at the top of the shock rod. they should have gave you adjustment *****. let me see if i can find a pic.

 

look at the second one from the left. the white **** on top.

 

so i will need an hex key to adjust the height? but how will i know that its even

do i adjust it when its on the car?

 

you could count threads or even measure from the perch to the bottom of the threaded section.

 

do i adjust it when its on the car?

 

yes sir.

 

is there suppose to be a collar on the front shocks? where it meets the fork?

 

If you're thinking about the brake line bracket, Koni shocks do not include them. You need to either pound off the OEM bracket from the OEM shocks (rubber mallet time), or use zip ties (like so many of us do).

 

your not supposed to give away all the secrets. lol. zipties get it done!

 

^ As mentioned previously, you can measure or count the rings threads.

 

do you guys know a good way to take out the long bolt from the forkey thing, it's tightened with a nut

 

to take it off. spray it down with pb blaster then us an impact if you have one to get it off and use a rachet or wrench on the other side.

 

Okay cool. What type of greaser should i use to prevent them from squeeking?
