What brand of street shocks do you have?

The Koni web site says to adjust them by compressing the shock and then rotating the body of the shock, which will engage an internal screw control.

Over the years though, I've found many replacement shocks to be disappointing. Either they ride hard without good control (sold as "sport" shocks mainly to kids) or they go soft quickly (cheap shocks).

Like mattresses, you can pretty much sleep on any of them for one or two nights, but a really good one is not easy to find.

Hey RED, Just an FYI as having owned driven on and having SEVERAL friends that use Koni Yellows, go with them. They ride very smooth/nice in the soft-med range and are only somewhat stiff from med-hard range. My friend and his father are courier's for a living and both LOVE the koni yellows on their civics as it has a very good valving setup - soft enough for daily driving until you crank up the stiffness. I think one of the sets they have been using could have had 300+k on it over the last few years with No leaks/problems as it has been the case for the 4-5 different sets they have had on different cars/models.

I put them on my cousins car who lives in sanfrancisco and set them just below medium and they're too soft a ride for me, but very nice on the crap roads there.

On the AE86 chassis only the rear shocks require disconnecting and spinning to adjust, if you put it at soft or medium and drive it you'll quickly find where you want it set, as it's only one 14mm and sliding the shock off to adjust it. The fronts are top adjustable. I'd also recommend contacting KONI directly, they may have a top adjustable option for stock ride height (IIRC you're at stock height).

I currently have KYB AGX (mr2 'rears' in the front of my car, and camaro rears) and I don't really like the way they're valved... But I've learned to live with them and make them work.
