Default some ?'s about koni yellows

in reading about them on Tornactive.com:

Secondly, we have 5 grooves on the shock body which are seperated by about 10mm apart. Theoretically, you can raise or lower your car about .5" in either direction. Lastly, these shocks are externally adjustable where they can remain installed in the vehicle to be dialed in the firmness setting.
theoretically? or they can be hight adjusted within an inch?

I'd hope so, since I have about a half inch (under 1 1/2 fingers) of wheel gap. But would this lowered effect cause camber problems? I have no problems at all, and would love to keep it that way without dishing out more $$ on a camber kit.

I don't personally have them, but yes, you can adjust the perches within an inch. I'd say anything lower than 1.5" will require a camber kit. Thats just my personal opinion. If you're already lowered and you have been for a while, take one of your front wheels off and look for camber.

I have them... either the front has only 3 and the other has 5, or vice-versa, but you can change the ride height of your car with them.

They're such well designed struts. If you're bottoming out a lot from how low you are, you can just move that perch down a little, readjust your ride height and go on... don't even have to take the suspension apart (if you have c/os).

hih!

mines about 1.6, and recently I had the tires rotated. minimal camber wear, they said. I made it a point to ask.

oops.. actually, if you were bottoming out, you'd want to move the perch up, not down. h:
