Default Koni adjustment

Installed my strano's and koni's Where is a good place to start for adjustment. The fronts look like they will be hard to get ot because the coil is almost in front of the adjuster. My rears are a little hard to get to as well being a vert so I would like to try and get it right the first time. The directions aren't very good.

what springs? i think a lot of guys go with 4 sweeps from full stiff in front and maybe full soft in the rear.

i'm right there except for my rears set at about 1/2 to 3/4 turns from full soft. i run a solid 22mm sway bar though - not sure if that makes a difference.

if the coil is in the way, just try jacking the car up a little til you can get in there with the right angle. someone else mentioned they tie a string to the allen wrench and that is a fantastic idea (i dropped a few in there). rears aren't hard. just fold down that rear seat and the adjuster is right there.

Good start point: 5 sweeps from full soft up front, and 1/2 turn from full soft in the rear.

Are they at full soft from the factory? So I just need to crank them up or do I need to take them to full soft than back up.

Just take them to full soft to make sure. The front are a b*&^%$$ to get to on my car. I had to bend an allen wrentch to get it into the hole.....and I have to adjust them blind. Its annoying.

There should me a "-" and "+" marked on them, but I believe turning them left makes them softer. If they're stock they 'should' be on full soft already.

If you bought them from Sam, give him a call. He can get you started. I will be calling him this next week to see what he says. I finally have some time to get them installed.

Gottcha. Looks like a few of the post give you a good starting point. I'm sure once I get started I'm going have some questions.
