Not every adjustable damper uses the same method

KONI Sport dampers provide rebound adjustment, but access and adjustment procedure depend on the part. Some use an external control, while internally adjusted designs require a different process. Identify the exact part number before attempting adjustment.

Do not copy another car’s turn count

Read the supplied instructions for direction, range and starting position. Never force the mechanism past its stop. Keep a written record of the setting on each side so a later change can be evaluated and reversed.

Change one thing at a time

Set the matched axle consistently as directed and assess behavior on a familiar route under safe conditions. More rebound is not automatically more grip or comfort. If the suspension is bottoming, binding or using incompatible springs, an adjuster setting cannot correct the underlying installation.
