Default Just got Koni shocks. Got some questions...

I just bought a set of koni's and have not installed them yet. I was just playing around with the adjustment knob, and was wondering how many turns are allowed on these. I tried turning them several turns in either directions, but could not seem to feel an end or any kind of restriction at the end.

For those that have these shocks, can you feel a restriction or a stop at maximum firm or soft? Also, how many total turns can you crank? What do you find to be the best setting? BTW, I have Kgmm super sport springs and planning to set them on normal ride height.

i think they have to have some sort of load, when i first got my koni's it just kept turnings, but when they were on the car, i can adjusted them, 2 turns. wait till they get on ur car.

Thanks for your imput. I found out that I was turning the entire shaft instead of turning just the tab at the top. Silly me.
