I have a set of koni's adjustable rear shocks in my car. I noticed that one side is lower than the other. Any instructions on how to adjust them?

The shocks don't set the ride height, the springs do. Assuming you have adjustable springs, don't have a problem with the suspension console, and all else is ok then the spring collars need to be made equal. There is a set-screw that keeps the collar tight. Loosen it and the collar will turn on the threaded body. I've never tried that adjustment on the car. Once that's done, to adjust the shock stiffness the screw on the top is turned counter-clockwise to stiffen and clockwise to soften. That'll be done as you correct for over or understeer assuming your springs are correct front-to-back.. Good luck |
