he he he, I think I will do the same!!!



found this on http://www.koni-na.com/adjustment.cfm

Adjustment Procedure 8041, 8042, 8241, 8610, 8641, 8742 Series

Rebound Adjustment Procedures

Externally Adjustable. These dampers can be adjusted, literally at the turn of a ****, a technique borrowed from Formula-1 racing where KONI dampers have dominated the field for years. One can switch back and forth, in most cases in a matter of seconds, from a comfortable "touring" setting to a more firmer setting for a sporty drive. By means of a **** damping forces can be altered to driving conditions or personal preferences.

REBOUND ADJUSTMENT DIRECTION

Clockwise = Softer
Counter Clockwise = Firmer
COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT DIRECTION

Clockwise = Firmer
Counter Clockwise = Softer


this is our front shock correct?



our rear shock is NOT commpression adjustable. clockwise IS firmer. (rear) rear shock can be found on that page to.

Are shocks DO NOT have compression adjustment. Koni DOES NOT make an off the shelf double adjustable for the RX8, only way to get compression adjustment on an RX8 is a custom built shock.

If you HAD compression adjustment it would be at the bottum of the shock and you use a flat head screwdrive to adjust it.

See fig 2 at the bottum of the page: http://www.koni-na.com/adjustment.cfm

yup, yup. Practice and a championship event. One busy weekend. Thanks again for help on the installs. I doubt we will be able to get Erica over to get hers switched out prior to the event. Don't know whether she would want to get some Tein S or Tein H's at the same time...we'll have to see after tonight and the switch with Xrider.
