Otherwise, Spitfire made some nifty adjusters. He may have some left.
Thanks, I'm glad you like 'm.

All sets were sold and I'm not able to make more for a while.
Sorry

thanks everyone, i ended up scarficing a 3/8" socket and it worked like a charm. you would think koni would have made a better design for the adjustments. oh well. now its time to have fun with the adjustments. they seem very responsive when its firm and a little dull when soft. any other advice you guys have on these shocks?

The biggest advantage of the Koni's is not how hard or soft you can make them, but rather the differences between them that allow you to balance the car out. In other words, adjusting the front shocks to a different setting than the back shocks can help cure understeer/oversteer issues and get the the car perfectly balanced, or even tipped one way or the other if you prefer.

The best way to adjust these is to read up about how shocks affect handling during different parts of a turn, go out and drive your car through hard turns, and then make small adjustments and repeat. Make sure to do this everytime you change out any piece of the suspension, from new spring to new wheels or tires.

If you did not buy the shocks with performance in mind, then set them on full soft and enjoy your ride I guess
