Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Koni/H&R install- adjustment ?'s

Finally got the Koni's and H&R's I ordered as part of the group buy in Feb! I saw a couple guys post that it only cost $150 or so to get them installed, what kind of shop was that at? Every place I've talked with is more like $300.
Also, how have you been adjusting the rear struts? I know there is a small hole in the trunk, does the adjustment knob fit in there or do you use a small socket?
Last question, have you been able to dial out enough of the camber (with out a camber adjustment) to save the insides of the tires?

Thanks mucho!

I'm not sure about the price but I can help some. To adjust the rear you sort of lay across the inside of the trunk and you'll see the top of the strut tower. take your adjustment knob and mark the sides with a marker at 12 and six O'clock(to help count turns). Now pull back the carpet and place the knob on the adjuster. At this point you use the marks to count the turns. I have mine at one full turn from full soft in the rear and one half in the front. About the tires , the wear shouldn't be to bad with H&Rs. Good luck.

I got mine in April. I started that group buy I think and koni decided to slow down production on contour struts for some idiotic reason. I'm glad to see you finally got em. Some people who ordered first got them in 3 days...WTF!!

$300 is steep. I had mine done at a local performance shop for $165 which included alignment.

The rear struts are a serious pain to adjust. Stinger00 got a big knob for the front and a small knob for the rear which makes things way easier but I got 2 big knobs and its a lil more difficult to adjust them.
