I had the adjustable Koni's installed last week. How do you adjust the rears? Simply use an allen wrench and twist?

Other new pieces installed last week:
-timing belt
-water pump
-new ITR springs
-Khumo Exstas

You have to uninstall the shocks and adjust the metal perches. There's 3 "notches" and you can adjust the metal perch to whichever notch you like.

 

Do you mean adjust the damping rate? The Koni yellows we have for the rear of our 323i are adjusted by compressing them and then twisting them, unfortunately not the most practical way

Adjust the dampening is exactly what I'm looking for. I wasn't around when my mechanic did the work. I'm going to see him tonight for clarification.

He said he set them "half way" before installing them. Any idea how many twists there are from full soft to full hard?

If you haven't had them revalved and changed to external adjustables, then you have to do as mentioned, compress and turn.

I had mine changed to be externally adjustable, and revalved for ITR weight (these are CRX shocks) and my spring rate.

warren,

who did you have do the work on the konis..... koni? or that distributor of theirs, cant' remember their name....

we talking about 180-200 per corner?

I had Truechoice do the work. They're slow, but good. I'm not sure how much exactly the revalve was since I also bought the shocks and sleeves from them at the same time, but I got the whole shebang for $1500. Less if I had gotten the shocks elsewhere. If you buy CRX shocks, remember that it's really supposed to be modified to fit an ITR. I can't remember what they do. Ask Greg @ TC.

OPM Motorsport is another good bet. I think they want like $1400 for the whole thing, shocks and sleeves included. If you're really nice I might be able to find the part numbers they used inside my revalved Konis.

Looks like I already had it online. Check out the valve part numbers.
