Default Adj koni yellows?

I bought my car with the shocks on it and would like to know how to adj them? I'm guessing i will have to take them off the car to do it? I want the best settings for the drag strip, not handling. Any help?

They should have an adjuster with a **** at the bottom, it will take a stardard (straight blade) screwdriver to adjust. That is for both the front and rear. If they are double adjustables, the top of the rear shock (behind the rear seat, under a flap of carpet adn a foam block) will have a "tip" with a straight line across it (like a small straight blade screwdriver) and the front will have a small "slot" at the top of the shock (the gold part where the black placstic dust boot slides onto) with small holes in a piece inside it that is your front rebound adjuster.


Go here.

Either way, I'd change to something else for drag racing. Sell the Koni's. If they are double adjustable, you may get enough adjustment to "get by", if they are single adjustables, I'd sell them to finance something else. Just my thoughts.

Honestly, I'm not a drag guy. For drag, I'd have suggested HAL's (though I don't like them...but I'm a road racer). Otherwise, I might consider a set of the "new" take off shocks that SLP is selling for the front and some Comp Engineering drag shocks for the rear. That is my suggestion for "non-hal" drag racing, and it is cheap as well. However, I'm sure some of the drag guys will jump in here and let you know what they run (or start a new post).

And, If you decide to sell off those Koni's (I'll always buy spares).....

It depends on condition and if they are single or double adjustable. Let me know or send pics (trackbird@columbus.rr.com).
