I noticed that my car has yellow Koni shocks, in the front and in rear. The rear shocks have a blue dot mark.
The shocks in the front can be adjusted for ride confort. The car sits really low, so low that it scrapes in low speed humps. Is there any way that I can raise the car an inch or so, with out having to replace the shocks and springs? Thanks

Never seen dots on the shocks before, seen them on the front springs - they indicated "stiffness" - one dot being the softest, three being the stiffest.
you will have to check and see if the shocks are adjustable. AFJuvat

If they are yellow konis the front ones should be adjustable under the hood, look for a square section bit sticking up out of the top of the shock, turning this adjusts the stiffness. I have a special koni plastic thing that fits the square section but you could just use a small wrench,
The rears have to be removed to be adjusted. Mark |

Hi there Mark, My shocks are exactly as you say, they can be adjusted for stiffness, I too, have the plastic Koni knob to do it.
But what I wish I could do is raise the car by and inch or so., it is so low, it scrapes on twiggs..
