Replacing koni standard shocks with koni adjustable
I'm replacing my old, very broken, koni shocks in back. They are kind of nifty because I'm pretty sure they are the ones that came from the factory.
![]() I just got a set of lightly used adjustable Koni rears and am wondering which of the 4 settings is about the same as the non adjustable ones? Wouldn't be a big deal, but these look like they need to be removed to be adjusted. Thanks! -Dan

I can't answer your question but mine were originally set to the firmest and it caused the front of the car to bounce a lot (I'm guessing that this was because the rear wasn't moving at all). I set to the 1st 25% mark and I feel that the ride is perfect (no bounce front or rear).

mine have only 3 indents and they are very subtle so it might take a couple tries to feel...
I set them on the middle one (#2) and they are perfect for me - I have external adjustable fronts and its SO easy to change I wish I had the coin to do the rears this way...but like you I have to remove them.... middle is fine
