front koni adj tip....

So if you are like me you thought the guys a koni had lost it when they built this new tool to adjust the front RX8 Koni. The thing is so small it kills your fingers when you try to turn it and there is no good way to get a grip on it.

Well I found a new way to use it. Place the tool on the top of the shock with the center slot over the tab. Now those four slots, one in each end that are to big to fit on the shock tab, well those are just the right size for a flathead screwdriver.

Yes that is right if you put a screwdriver, or any flat thing that will fit in the slot, you can adjust the shocks with no muss no fuss.

Not sure why it took me so long to figure it out. This weekend it just clicked. :D

It would not kill Koni to put that in the instructions for us dumb a$$ racers. The good news is I no longer have to take out the strut tower brace to adjust them, so far I have been lucky the car has not fallen apart with it out.
