Koni Adjustable 'Shocking'
Discussion
I took part in a sprint at Brands on Saturday and had a fantastic time. My Rover Cooper seemed to hold together well. Having completed the practice laps I realised that I was running too soft all round - particularly up front. Upon removing the frt konis that have run v. few miles I tried to adjust them. When turned to full +'ve they had little resistance in bump or rebound, when turned to full -'ve they had similar bump characteristics but incredibly damped rebound. This is not what I was expecting!!
The question is - are they knackered - or am i missing something?

It may be me, but I've never liked Konis because:
1. They are hard to adjust during an event.
2. The principle of operation seems to be that they are softer on bump than on rebound.
That's why I always use SPAX and I've never had any problems with them. So easy to adjust on the car, even at night on a rally it takes just a few seconds per damper.
