Koni Sport adjustable install

[stealthn]

Hi,

I've got Koni Sport shocks to go on my SC, but I could use some confirmation on the mounting hardware. There is small pictures on how the washers, bolts, rubber go on, but I need better confirmation.
If anyone has pictures or can describe the sequence of the mounting hardware I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Going off of memory (may be off slightly)...
- slide the shock in the srut tube.
- install the threaded nut that keeps it in place.
- slide on the big plastic washer
- put the rubber bumper that was on the shock when it came back on
- place the strut dust cover on
- instert the shock into the hole on the stock camber plate
- put on large flat washer with the notch
- torque down the big nut

If you are using the stock camber plates or monoballs, toss out the other rubber pieces and metal sleeve in the kit. If you want to "refurb" the camber plates you can remove the old rubber and replace it with those parts but most people do not do this since the old stuff is better.

Thanks for your help Pat. The drawing I have shows a metal ring for my particular insert rather than the plastic one. I was think more of the top of the strut mounting, as well as the rear shocks.
The inserts have a little washer with a tongue on it as well as a bigger one with a simular tongue. I assume this fit into the shocks grove but I'm not sure which way is up.

Because I didn't get to it this weekend, I'll call Koni tomorrow for more info.

Thanks again...

The washer under the top nut has no up or down. If you are talking about a cupped washer, that's the one Pat is telling you to discard. His sequence is spot on from my experience. I just did this last week.

On the ring: Metal, plastic, doesn't seem to matter much. I don't even know what it does unless it keeps the snubber from contacting the hot shock directly.

Thanks guys, I guess I should have checked the Bentley first (it looks like the same deal). Did you use any oil?, or anti-freeze?

Oh yeah what firmness did you go with and how was it?
