My new Koni's came with rubber upper bushings, should I replace these? Also, the top of the adjuster seems to hit my front trunk lid, what do you do about the clearance issues?
you should use at least most of the bump rubber. if your car has been lowered, you might cut off the bottom ring.
i don't know what your adjuster looks like, so i'm hesitant to recommend specific measures. i know what i did with my externally adjustable front Konis a long time ago, but i doubt they're still made like that.
if your car has been lowered a lot, there may be more extraordinary measures needed to deal with the reduction in travel. the short version is that the foot valve can be damaged if the claw hits the valve in bump. this has been discussed here before and i know i've posted at least one picture of Koni internals. look around - it's here. with sensible lowering the bump rubber should protect you. note that the bump rubber only works if you're retaining the "dust cover" ...
