I was installing my coilovers last night, and I'm not sure how to adjust the dampening on them. I was told I pretty much have to dis-assemble the shock at the top, to compress it all the way down. is this true? is there an easier way? can I cut the bumpstop off, and then compress it like that?

If not, how do I take it apart?

that or they arent adjustable. I cant think of any other (non obvious) ways to do it.

The koni shocks I have seen have a little slot in the shock house, 3/4" below where the bolt goes through the upper part of the shock body when you install it. Inside that little slot should be a little dial, with small divets in it. Drop and allen key in there, and turn the dial...left for less rebound dampending, right for more rebound dampening. This is for the rear Koni shocks.

For the fronts, you have to compress the piston all the way, and turn the piston with an allen key (or something like that).

If it's not a conventional Koni shock, then I have no idea what you'll need to do, because I've never seen the FK's.

,remove the top mount,depress the piston until you engage the adjuster and turn the piston left or right ( depending on if you want firmer or softer)untill you reach the desired position.

how do I remove the top mount? that's what I'm having the problem with.

possible and use a wrench to unscrew the top mount.

So, what WMD are you hiding?

I might try to cut the bumpstops though, and see if it will compress enough.
