Koni Adjustables

[ciarandeery1 22]

What are these like? Do they help much? Any info and comments appreciated

[welshpug 1,646]

help what?

[ciarandeery1 22]

Handling? What is the purpose of them.

[welshpug 1,646]

they control the motion of the spring.

 

They'll be a higher damping rate than standard, whether that "improves" handling is quite subjective, depends what you use it for, but it it often said that the best handling 205's is a bog standard 1.6, or XS.

[ciarandeery1 22]

the 'adjustable' part is to adjust damping i take it?

[Graz 1]

_{Yes it adjusts the rebound side of the damping. I run them on my car and like them.}

Yes indeed, I have run some on my ZX and they performed quite nicely with the standard ZX spring, still have them on the rear infact with AST on the front.

fella i know has a set, never in the car, front and rear £250 think i might buy them

[welshpug 1,646]

a reasonable price if they are new, RRP is around that for a front pair alone, rears are about £180 a pair.

[ciarandeery1 22]

yeah theyre brand new he has them about 3 years along with mi16 engine and other bits for sale.

[Graz 1]

^{Have a look at the STR.T stuff they sell they aren't adjustable but are uprated and are quite cheap almost a throw away set of dampers from Koni.}

[ciarandeery1 22]

they look pretty good alright.

Can koni adjustable front shock be refurb'd and if so where? thanks

[welshpug 1,646]

I believe they can be, ask Koni.

one of mine weeps from the adjuster part, got another set off my mate as hes gone coilovers but would like to get my originals sorted

[Matteo 17 1 Cars]

I have a full set of them in my 205 and I like them so much

[Francesco 2 1 Cars]

I have Koni on the front and rear, the yellow version. I use them on my trackday car and they are great.

 

As for if they can be refurb'd. Yes, they can. Koni has a service for that.

Mine always feel a bit springy, they swallow bumps and potholes up nicely, they are definatly more fast road than track.

Good seals aswell

Weeping from the adjusters is very common.

Mine are the older push down and turn leg type so no external adjustment!

[welshpug 1,646]
