push them al the way home and turn.........clockwise to stiffen....anti-clockwise to soften ??......I guess


As for the screw big vr, i did notice that, thought it might be a lubrication port ??



Thanks

I always thought the red Koni's were not adjustable, i thought only the yellows were adjustable type. They adjust like said above, compress them fully then turn the shaft and you will feel it click and engage then the shocker will compress another couple of mm, then turn to adjust, thats how it worked on my Koni yellows on my old Mk2 Golf.

Mine are reds and are adjustable. A lot of difference between the softest and hardest settings. Mine are at full hardest and not that different to std. van shocks at that setting TBH - only a bit harder. Had no experience with the yellows. I thought they were the ones that could be adjusted without taking them off (?)

i always used to use spax on my old cars, a little knob that fits the adjuster on the top and dial it in, although the only choice was hard, harder, even harder, fecking hard.... and so on up to 10!!!
