Chassis mod to adjust koni yellows?

Hiya.

I have koni yellow adjustables which are impossible to adjust while bolted in. I know there's a mod where I can drill out the chassis to reach the adjusters from the inside. Anyone have any insight on this?

Thanks!

I set the rears @ 50% and cranked down the fronts to about 75%. I set the 22mm RSB, in the middle position. I would play with the front strut adjustment, but the rear struts, I literally set them and forgot about them. The ride was stiff, tight and in my opinion… perfect!

You better be running some stiff springs with those settings. Stiff and tight usually doesn't mean perfect. Testing, lap times and tire temps are the way to go.


For reference, rears 3/4 turn from soft, front 1 turn from soft. More caused the suspension to pack down and lose grip, less and the rear end skipped. TSW springs.
