Default how to adjust rear konis??
how do i adjust the rears? it says something about twisting the top of it. i have the fronts set at 5 turns (i think from all the way stiff?) but i just got these for Christmas and im not sure how to adjust it right.

how do i do it and what should i start out at for the setting?

Cal, I'm guessing he has SAs, so we're probably talking the upper removeable **** actuated rebound adjustment here, no clicks involved, just turns of the ****/dial.

Yes that's right but I don't know what to tell you about the setting since you have the 3rd gen rears. Call Sam Strano and ask..He will know best
