Post e-bay Koni shocks

I was looking on e-bay and someone has a pair of koni sport struts for sale. One thing strange though is that there is no external adjustment on them that I can see. I am missing something?

What year car do these come from? Some of the early model Koni struts do_not have external adjustment - they must be removed from the car similar to the rear shocks. Rear sport shocks do_not have external adjustment.

IMHO, struts that old are useless unless wanted for the cores.

i just remember when I bought koni sport struts for my early 944 they were externally adjustable. The ones on e-bay look nothing like the sport struts I had.

I saw those also, and they look like the Koni red's. Which as I understand it don't have the top mounted external adjustment like the yellow Sport's do.

I recently bought a pair from eBay and was sorely disappointed. They took several MINUTES to rebound from any setting. The seller tried to tell me that this was the norm. I have bought enough new ones to know otherwise. Back they went.
Just say no!
