Question Koni SA - adjusting window direction

All of you who are using Koni SA shocks w/stock springs (or equivalent), where did you locate the adjusting window for the front shock?
Toward the front of the car, out to the side, to the rear, or somewhere in- between
I have everything off the front end and getting ready to put new stuff on tonight. Just trying to figure out beforehand if there is a preferred direction for easy adjustment access.


Thanks

Do you know how to adjust the front shocks? My car is at a shop right now and the morons are saying they don't know how to adjust the front shocks.

if you look near the top of the shock there is a window where you can adjust the shock.

I think I will set this thread up for a reply since this is a question I would be interested in before buying the Koni SA.

mine is facing out so I can adjust it and see it when I'm looking at the tire.

You want to make sure the windows face outward and that the spring is not in the way (if you use coilovers). Here's a little page I whipped up.
