 Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2010 12:45 pm Post subject: Koni suspension |
 |
|
I have a set of yellow Koni struts & rear shox with a set of Apex springs, i was going to bolt them all onto my sportwagon but the car i took them off was quite a bit lower than standard with this settup. my sw has the zender bumpers & & 16" wheels so i cannot afford to lower it even slightly,  so i might have to sell the suspension kit, anyone slightly interested? or does anyone know if i can adjust the koni's so they don't lower the car??

Hi Ian, yes all series 3 bits. I too SORN the sw in Oct to do some work to it, (big 4-pot front brakes are amazing!), will hopefully be taxing it in Feb ready for a trip to Spain.

Hey Alex,
Springs dictate the height of the springs, not the shocks, unless the shocks have been shortened so that their shorter than the resting height.
To raise the height at the front you can fit a 5mm spacer between the top of the strut and the top of the inside where the strut goes.
For the rear you can get thicker top rubbers, unless you already have the thickest on your car at the moment.
I have a pair of struts off the car if you want me to measure the stantion tube for you.
