Yup, it's about time! 4 weeks but well worth the wait I guess. Pics will be up later this week.

H&R sport springs
Koni Red shocks

So how do I adjust the shocks?

 

Ummmmm......

So no one on here has Koni Reds??

 

I don't think the reds are adjustable, just the yellows. I could be wrong though..If it were adjustable, it would have come with a little **** to keep in your car, and you just place it on the top of the strut (the part that sticks through the strut tower, into the engine bay), and twist.

 

I am 99% sure the Koni Reds a non-adjustable. Hope your question was a joke....

 

Uhhhh.....no, im not joking. The box itself says ADJUST SHOCK ABSORBERS. It's really hard to understand the instruction manual, that's why I posted this. Yes, the yellows have a ****, I know that. I remember someone saying the Reds are adjustable as well.

 

Your best bet is to check the Koni site http://www.koni.com and see what is says on there.

Actually, I saved you some time. Check this link out... http://217.160.44.27/KONI_NL/_cars/_.../identifi.html

What model Konis do you have? Once you tell me that, I can help you out more...

HTH.

Sorry, I got KYB's (and still waiting for them to arrive), can't help ya ......

 

Thanks for the link breaka. I believe mine are the 8040/8240 series.

One more question: So I got H&R Sport springs with the shocks. The back end is almost 2" lower, but the front is still the same. Would you or anyone else know what the problem is?

Thanks again.

 

springs backwards?!?!?

 

I was afraid of that, but I checked and that's not the case.

 

Anyone know if the shocks will 'shorten' up a bit if I adjust it so it's firmer?

 

Do these reds have adjustable spring perches on the shocks? If so, trying moving the front springs down one notch.

 

I just found out they have adjustable perches. How do I adjust it? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I don't want the guy who installed it to mess up again. I'm getting the front fixed tomorrow afternoon.

 

There should just be a C clip that snaps into a groove on the shock. You might be able to see the grooves if the dust cover was not put back on...

 

Thanks. Hopefully things will work out this time.

 

Is trimming the bumpstop up front a bad thing? I was thinking of getting my installer to trim off an inch or so. Yes/No?

 

Trimming the bumpstop is a necessity when lowering the car. If you don't trim it, you might bottom the suspension out on the bumpstop.

I trimmed my bumstops in half when I lowered my Teg 1.3" with the Eibach Pro-kit springs. When I lowered my Civic with Ground Controls, I threw away the bumpstop.
