Default adjusting m474 koni struts

ok, i did a search and didn't find what i was looking for...

i just got some m474 koni struts for my 951. how do i adjust these buggers? there is no tab, but they are supposed to be adjustable. they are not installed yet. i read something about collapsing them and turning them to adjust.

any help is appreciated.

Speaking of the rears;

You do indeed collapse them, which engages a pin on the shock body with a hole in the top eye plate. You then turn one way or the other, thereby increasing or decreasing rebound damping. It can be a bit of a struggle, most easily accomplished in a bench vise.

I would bet that the installation destructions are available on a website where Konis are sold. Koni or Paragon?

You need to compress the strut piston and engage the adjustment at the bottom of the strut.
