Koni's...how to adjust the rear?

I lost the instruction sheet. I want to adjust the rear, see if I can adjust it lower. My friend and I did the install of the Koni's, but I forgot how to adjust the rear. Anyone? Thanks.

I noticed this with my Toks for a few days after the install. I panicked thinkin I killed the seal, but upon inspection everything was OK, and since then it has stopped.

What do you want to adjust? The height or the rebound rate?

The height is adjusted by where the cup that holds the spring is placed. The strut has two settings, a higher and a lower. Mine came set for the lower out of the box...

The rebound rate is adjusted by compressing the strut and turning it the direction indicated on the strut.

In either case you have to take the struts and springs off the car.

Hm...if that's the case, I think mine's already set at the low setting. I called up my friend and he told me that it's already at the low setting. I guess I can't do anything about the rear, it's more the Sprint's than the Koni's.

Yeah, you're kinda stuck with the height. Without buying new springs your only real option would be cutting the sprints. Not a great idea if you ask me.
