Koni shock adjustment

So I just discovered I have Koni shocks on the rear of my 71 T. They are old, if not original, and pretty soft. Anyway I'm going to pull them out this weekend, clean them up and adjust them. So does anyone have any suggestions on adjusting them? Full firm, soft , or somewhere in between? Thanks...

They have roughly 2 turns total adjustment. First, figure out where they are now. If full soft, you're in business. I'd go one full turn and see how that feels.

For complete instructions on adjusting, go to Koni on the Web or Paragon Products. Be sure to type in the word Porsche or Koni when googling PP. There's a lot out there using paragon as a business name. (Sheesh, by the time I typed all of this, I could have looked it up and linked it )

Zeke, thanks for the info. I will check out the Koni site. I'm hoping they are set soft so I can firm them up a little and get some more use out of them before I have buy new. But just knowing how many turns I can adjust them helps.
