My 1985 Mustang GT has blue Koni adjustable shocks in the rear. I can't seem to find any information on them (e.g. how to adjust). The only Koni's I can find info on are yellow and red. Anyone know anything about them? I'm hoping that the blue Koni's have a setting firm enough that I can use in a drag only car. Any information would be appreciated.

Sorry -- never heard of a blue Koni. Are you sure it's not another brand?

I thought all Koni's were adjustable? Never hear dof Blue Konis either. The yellows are supposed to be the best and Red's just a step down. Maybe you are thinking, Tokico?

I know what you mean. We changed the struts in my friends stang with Red ones, and they say adjustable onthem, but even reading the instructions, we could not get them adjusted. It said to compress the strut and then turn it clockwise. No way did this do a damn thing. Do Koni's have a knob to adjust them, or is there some other way?

Hey, my car came with koni reds and they are adjustable. Theres a white knob that goes on top and you turn it one way for firm and the other for softer.
