Koni shocks

[A80Avant]

I just bought a set to fit the rs2. Upon opening the boxes I noticed that I can push the rods of the shocks in and out and there is no rebound. Is that normal?

I put Koni's to my Rs2, Do you have same: 86-2086SPD2 (front) ; 8210-1160Sport (rear) ?

You need to cycle the piston in and out full stroke a few times to bleed them

[A80Avant]

yes the same.

looking at a few forums I noticed that they do appear to work that way.
do the fronts adjust with a knob or by pressing fully down?

for the rear I suppose you adjust them but you can't do that again once fitted without dismantling as the adjuster area lies within the tube

also noticed the front are internally adjustable only

[jax1]

Front ones pressed fully down, and turn clockwise (firmer). Rear ones could adjust/turn with metal pin and turn counter clockwise (firmer)
Maybe this helps: http://www.koni.com/en-US/Cars/Techn...stment-Guides/
Both ones adjustable externally.

Stock springs

-1.5F -1.0R

H&R springs

-1.0F -0.5R

Where

-x.x = counter clockwise turns from fully hard (wound in clockwise).

F = Front

R = Rear



Looking at this am I reading something wrong or getting a mind freeze?

for the rears and stock springs, am I turning first fully counter clockwise to fully firm then -1.0 turn (ie 360deg) to get the above setting?

On the contrary, the fronts are first turned fully clockwise to reach fully firm and then -1.5 counterclockwise?
