Youza, nice rides.

Can't help you out with the konis, but I'd love to know what the suspension set-up on the red one is. Whatever it is,its uber low.

full softey

From a dim memory in hospital I seem to remember that Koni`s have 7 or 13 klicks,half way is optimum.Any more will accelerate wear of piston valve but its re-buildable so if half way is not stiff enough for you, go for it! Nice cars but in UK, any black, tinted window BM is likely to be dispensing "gifts" from the back doors and attract attention from de law!

rebuildable?! because since they where too stiff, my driver side klunks alot and dips alot hard over bumps and such, so im pretty sure its gone...anymore info on this?

[pundit]

They come from the factory set correctly at the minimum dampening setting.
In other words the standard ex-factory setting is full soft, which by the way, is not actually soft.
Koni only recommend making adjustments to compensate for wear and loss of dampening over time.

Dunno about knobs but your cars are sexy... and shiny

[Qube]

Nice pics! I have mine on full soft... getting progressively harder as it wears... which is what I believe Koni recommends.

[Barney Paull-Edwards]

Exactly correct,the adjustment on koni`s is for wear not performance. In UK we get them re-built quite easily, I use a plant hydraulics company so that should apply in US.

[Nick.Hay]

Wow!! Very sexy looking pair!!

The red can be very 'hit-n-miss' on E34s... But yours looks HOT!!


Can't help on the Konis, sorry!!

[weazman187]

anybody else got any info on how to rebuild a koni?

[BigKriss]

yes, all konis are rebuildable. why don't you contact a distirbutor and ask them?
