O.K.-
Unbolt the back shocks at the rear end. Next, pull down the plastic sleeve around the shock tube. There is a button you depress on the top of the resevior tube (large) turn the bottom of the shock left or right, you should feel it click; these are the settings. There should be three settings. Oncethere, release. Hope this helps.

What irocdaddy said, plus turn clockwise for firmer, and counter clockwise for softer. Full range from soft to firm is just 1/2 a turn. If the button doesn't pop back up after you are done, wiggle the shock back and forth just a little until the button pops back up.

Re: to those who have koni adjustable shocks...

do the shocks need to be fully removed from the car? Or do the bottom bolts just need to be removed?
