That's what I do, turn them full one way then, say, a half turn back.________________________________________

I have the same ones as the OP, and I need an adjuster (bought second hand and don't have one) Which ones do I have so I can go to KW about it? Don't want to ring up and explain which type I have in German  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

KW have a good UK office. Just phone them up and ask for the plastic adjuster. They may ask for the art number off the shock but I doubt they will. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Chris, I have a KW adjuster that came with my KW V2 kit when I bought it, however the shocks were the new design where you adjust them with an allen key.So, I'm not sure why they sent me an adjuster, probably just trying to get rid of them or something. I have since sold the shocks but I found the adjuster the other day in the shed, if it's the right one for your shocks then you're more than welcome to it.  I can get a picture if you like. |

Just a quick update. I had a fooked droplink so replaced them both. Also fitted;Roller bearing wishbone bushes From Rich_W New Ball Joints but would still like the handling to be improved. What else can I uprate at the front.. Going to the rear of the car i already have Koni's and they seem set to soft as I can push the car down without much force. Any more mods that would help??

"as I can push the car down without much force"That's the springs (torsion bars) more than the dampers.  ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Got V2's on the Rallye. Solid top mounts with some more castor, rebuilt beam, 25mm torsion bars, hybrid ARB. Ideal for track but the ride's easily acceptable for use day to day.________________________________________ Clio 182 FF |

Incidentally I'm about to fit my adjustable top mounts to my KWs. Have you had any issues? Or just the usual crap trying to get the tops off the suspension to put on the tapered tops?________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

KW and koni are one and the same aren't they?!Anyway those adjusters are identical to the ones on the top of 205 koni yellow dampers from about 7 years ago (when I had some). Be very careful turning them as if they break the shock is fooked. The top mounts are available from a few places iire, compbrake, spoox etc. PM Ash on here about the bars as he might have some (I don't mean Roland Rat...). ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
