Aloha,

I just ordered a set of KONI Double Adju$table $hock$ and I need some
advise. I’ve have zero (0) experience in tuning shocks so I would like to
get some tips on shock tuning. The vendor I purchased the shocks from gave
me a recommended baseline but I need to know which way to go for the
various conditions that I will encounter. I realize that being a consistent
driver is important so for argument sakes let’s say I’m a consistent driver.

For example if I have a PUSH on TURN IN what should I do?

                  STIFFER: (+)
                NO CHANGE: blank
                   SOFTER: (-)

               |---------------|---------------|
     (EXAMPLE) |     LEFT      |     RIGHT     |
     TURN IN   |-------|-------|-------|-------|
     PUSH      | BUMP  |REBOUND| BUMP  |REBOUND|
     |---------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
     |  FRONT  |  (-)  |       |  (-)  |       |
     |---------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
     |  REAR   |       |       |       |       |
     |---------|-------|-------|-------|-------|
               I have no idea if this is correct.

Any tips/recommendations will be appreciated.

Mahalo,
