Default how do i adjust rear koni yellows on itr?

i'm confused since you have to turn the shock body rather than an external ****. can i do it on the car? do i have to take the wheel off? how hard is it is to turn? and how do you know how far you've gone...to make sure both sides are the same stiffness??

please help. i don't want to regret my latest purchase

Unless they are really new ones, i believe you need to take the shock off the car and fully compress the shock. Then rotate it once the bottom tabs click into place.

Im not familiar with these shocks, but they sure dont sound very efficient in respect to the adjustability factor.

you are correct - they are a bitch to adjust. You must dissamble the shock and compress it fully and turn it like the other guy said. No other way around it. I wish they were externally adjustable. oh well such is life.

The koni yellows for the itr are not externally adjustable like almost all other
koni yellows. my koni yellows are externally adjustable because they were
modified to be so.
