Ok, so if your not aware, I'm currently running Koni Reds with Tokico springs. Since installing them, I've had the Koni's on the "maximum" rebound setting, which, while it is a pretty aggressive setup, can be a bit harsh.

Now its been a few years since installing them, so I'm trying to remember... would it be counter-clockwise after compressing them, or clockwise to adjust the rebound setting? And what would you recommend for a daily driven setup? Looking for a BMW-ish ride.


Thanks in advance.

Bump, anyone?


This thread reminds me of when I was a mechanical novice and had Legend_master help me install these and my rear sway bar. What was that? 2007? Maybe earlier...

Not a lot of people are running konis so you'll have to be patient.

No wonder I find the ride to be a bit harsh. Thanks for the link, that was perfect! That link is no longer up on Koni's site, and I couldn't find it anywhere on the board.

i have my front adjusted to 3/4 trun from soft. they ride nice but i think it rides better because i dont have as much weight as the a20. the front stuck up more so pico and i cut a coil on my springs to make it go down.

I always forget which way is which. I just mark the shaft and body with tape to set where I started. Then turn completely in one direction and pull back on the shaft after compressing it to see if it rebounds faster or slower

I wanna say... that it was like turning up the volume on a stereo was the same as turning up the firmness. I am pretty sure that it's clockwise to stiffen.

Clockwise is to stiffen them.

The adjustment will depend on your spring rate.
