adjustable dampers
I was in the process of prepping the motor for a pull and i noticed that the front dampers appear to be adjustable.
I didn't see too much on line when I searched. Should I assume these are Koni with eibach lowering springs? |

Re: adjustable dampers
If you post a picture of them it will help.
Koni's strut bodies are yellow by the way.

Re: adjustable dampers
The top looks like a Koni.

Re: adjustable dampers
That's what I was thinking.
Hopefully I'll find a Gorilla wheel lug key soon. |

Re: adjustable dampers
Or see if your gorilla can turn it loose with his fingers alone.

Re: adjustable dampers
You can just go to a local shop and ask for a 6 spline lug key.

Re: adjustable dampers
Here in CT we aint got too many "local" tuner shops.
I can either buy the set, or order one online and wait. |

Re: adjustable dampers
Your in CT, there are actually quite a few tuner shops...
Anyways, if you need a key for your wheels, you can try like a wheel place. I got a spare one from Town Fair Tire. My key looks like this. Does yours need this kind of key?: Last edited by Lookin4SVX; 07-09-2012 at 08:44 PM. |

Re: adjustable dampers
I bought a set and used the key already.
Just another tool to add to the collection. I may order the adjustment dials if I can find them. |

Re: adjustable dampers
Got the car up on stands and took the wheels off today.
Koni Inserts in the modified housings with motorsport g-lateral drop springs. I'll be pulling these tomorrow and updating the FS thread. Thanks for all the help guys. |

Re: adjustable dampers
What were you driving impressions of this setup? I currently have the koni/gc combo which is too rigid/harsh imo. Thanks
