Question about Konis.......
......I ordered a set of Konis (yellow) from RB today. Front adjustable, rear non adjustable. My question is will I still be able to adjust the comp/rebound **** on the front top of the shock with the OEM strut brace in place. Seems like not much room to turn the ****, and will the **** touch the brace? If anyone has this setup, I would apprec some feedback. Too late to call RB..........

Do a search in the autox/road race forum and you will find a lot of info on the Konis.

Power!!
^^Ditto. The rears really are set it once and forget it unless you're seriously in to autoX. I have my rears at +25% from full soft or 180 from full soft.
The fronts it's a cross shaped key with slots cut in it so you can reach under the strut tower bar and turn it. If you want more room though taking off the strut tower bar is less than 5 minutes and can be done anywhere. It's a 12mm socket with 2 bolts on each side and that's it. Just torque them back down to 13-19 ftlbs when replacing.
