my car must be a freak..i can see the top for adjust ment just fine......you gotta bend over a little to see it, but it's very visable.
SVT? Pre/Post 98? I'd be willing to bet we have totally different designs. From the top of the rear strut tower, to the bottom of my rear deck is just enough space to fit the Koni adjuster in. From there, you have to go by feel to get the small adjuster onto the Koni tip.

Running Koni Sports on GC coilovers here. I have the Konis dialed in at 50% stiff. The ride is controlled but at times a bit bumpy due to the linear-rate springs. I will be contacting GC shortly to aquire a set of softer rate springs to use in combo with the ones I have now. Should equalize the ride...

99 SE sport....
like i said, i have no idea why it would be any diferent but i can see enough of the adjustment tab to position the knob over it, place it on, and turn it without problems.

'oo SVT difficulty making the adjustment, sometimes I cannot even tell before I drive it whether or not an adjustment has been made. I saw in the diagram included with the Konis that there is an alternate adjuster available. the stem on this adjuster is longer and I think it would make rear adjustment much easier

My cheap ass Koni adjustment knob didn't even touch the rear adjustment screw. I fabricated my own out of a piece of scrap iron and it works just fine. Full stiff, all the way baby!
