Koni Install

**02FASST** · 08-07-2007, 06:24 PM

Sorry for the newby plea for help - but I am taking the SS to a road course on the 20th and I need to get all my mods done ASAP!!

My Koni SA's are in - the Hotchkis springs should arrive any day - and I am in desperate need of some install help and cannot find anything on the Koni's and how to set them up and adjust them.

Anyone know of a good site with install/adjustment tips for these Koni's??

Thanks for the help.

You might get more replys in the suspension section. Welcome to the site!

This will give you an idea.

As far as the adjustments the shocks will come with instructions. usually 5-6 sweeps from full hard on the front is a good starting point and full soft in the back, but it all depends on the rest of your suspension setup.

This is true. I currently run 4 sweeps from full hard in the front and 1/4 turn from full soft for the rear shocks.

So....SOW what is your rest of your "suspension setup" to go along with those settings on the Koni's???

I really have it all now.

I would h8 to have to create a list based on reciepts (ouch I can't go there)

I am still considering changing the springs to Sams or coil overs I have not decided yet.

Thanks for the pics!!

These are really the first true mods on my 2002 (ordered and owned since new) - but after catching the Mod bug on prior cars I would recommend that you NEVER add up all the receipts!!! Takes all the fun out of it......
