If you find the konis get them. WELL worth it. I found a decent price on koni yellows and bought them then sold my tokico illuminas in a heartbeat.

you probably have one of the older koni's

mines adjusts from the top just like a illumina. koni changed the design somewhere through the years



Nope. Those are modified. The front konis were always adjustable via the knob at the top of the strut. The rears require removal unless they get modified by koni to be externally adjustable. The original design never deviated from this.

no, cause you should send 'em right back to koni and get them re-valved and shortened, for another 125 or so per shock. does that whipe the smile off your face?

people that have been around a long time mention how first generation koni yellows were internally adjustable, some even orange in color actually. like the koni red's.


*edit: i thought they were talkin about koni's in general, but i didnt see the part about "rear", rear's were only adjustable by removing it off the car, just like koni red. the fronts were a different story, (i.e. read above)
