koni suspension
i bought koni suspension used one. struts and spring the model no is 8041 1153SPORT and they have gmax springs on them which are G-MAX 30 HO....
the guy i bought them offf told me they were height adjsutable but i cant seem to adjsut the height cos there aint no coil sleeve or anything. There is a perch were the spring sits on and another slot in the strut were the perch may slide into about 1.5 m lower down the strut.
also are these height and dampning adjustable. if so how can they be adjusted.
thanks

The middle is stock height on stock shocks. Most people use the middle perch because if you go lower you can bottom out the shock which is bad for the shock and your car.
