Default Koni Yellows Adjustment?

I just put the Koni Yellows on my car with H&R Sport Springs. The Konis are adjustable by turning the **** for soft or firm performance. I believe they are supposed to turn a full 2 turns, but only one of mine does. The other 3 corners turn exactly 1 and 3/4ths of a turn. Is there something that I missed?

yep, if one turns 2 full turns, it might be messed up. 1.75 turns is correct.

Are you sure? I've had two sets over the last 5 years and all mine turn a little more than 2.

100% positive, 1.75 turns full soft to full firm. Mine and my friend's Konis are both like this. I seem to recall the Koni instructions stating this also, but I can't remember for sure.

Just checked mine, definitely 1.75 turns on all 4 corners. I have the regular off-the-shelf Koni shocks, maybe the SP3 (Neuspeed) versions turn more than 2 turns?

Koni Sports (yellow) are externally adjustable via a **** placed on top of the shock piston.

Koni Specials (red) are not externally adjustable. You can adjust between 3 different damping settings, but you have to remove the shock, compress the piston all the way down, and then turn the piston to change the setting.

Koni Sports are much more versatile than the Specials, and can handle a wider range of spring rates. I'm pretty sure they are not affected by amount of drop, either.
