My dad's alfa has red's so the process should be similar. They should click; not audible but mechanical if you understand that. Don't try to go past the last click though or you could damage them.

When you install it on your car and drive you should be able to feel a difference between full damping and under-damping if you are sucessfully adjusting. You can do one at a time. Don't worry, you wont damage anything by driving around with different rates.

Post how you like em after you figure out tuning . . . I'm debating between specials and sports for my rex. I didn't realize that they didn't adjust on top of the shock tower like my blues or strut konis. That's something to think about.

i adjusted them alreddy according to what koni said when i called them and they ride fine...i think i might take em out and adjust them a lil more so it can be softer but im afraid that if i do that then i might blow the shock..and im not tryin to have that happen again..so ill juss see what happens and let it be for now...thanks tho
