Default Koni Install Questions.

We need a Koni sticky lol.

1) The large flat washer: Where does this go? On the front shocks right? Do I need it being that the original shocks didn't have this?

2)How do I assemble these bushing for the rears? Is it Shock>Washer (Cupped toward bushing)>bushing>Car>Bushing>Washer (cupped toward bushing again)>nut? I'm very confused.

These directions suck.
Finally, how do I know when I'm at full soft/full stiff for the settings. Will the adjustment rod/**** stop turning at a certain point? Can I adjust these before I install them or they have to be under load?

1. YES on top of the shocks -- original shocks DO have this, it is integrated into the top of the OEM dust boot bump stop holders!

2. Post your photo and we can confirm you have it right-- much easier that way.

3. Did you search?

Adjust them either before or after -- it matters not. They stop where it gets hard to go any further -- try it...

A good starting point for the front shocks is 5 sweeps from full soft, with the rears full soft.

I did search but didn't find that specific thread. Thanks for that post, I've got it bookmarked now. Did a LITTLE more research and got everything put in right. Just need to adjust them now. Backs are adjusted, fronts need to be. Right now it's at full soft
