Adjusting the Konis?

I was looking under the hood for the top of the shocks on the towers. My friend said they're under the strut brace. You mean I gotta remove it to use the knob to adjust the shock? You gotta be kidding

How did you NOT know that when your purchased/installed them?

they are underneath the strut bar towers. stock strut bar is a bit wierd design and they need to come off in order to adjust the dampers.

Well the strut bar on the TL covers the shaft of the shock. The top of the shaft has a piece of steel sticking out so you can adjust the damping. KONI provides a knob to do so. To adjust the height you would have to remove the suspension and put the C-clip on the lower or higher perch.
