Default koni shocks owners?

the koni struts comes in compressed i believe, how do you decompress them? do you just pull them apart and then install them? i could pull them and compress them again, is that normal?[/align]

I worked on a lift so decompressingmy Koni sportswasn't an issue.
I can tell you that Koni sports are hydraulic,instead of being gas infalted.
So it's notthe typical once you cut theribbon you're screwed sorta deal.

The shocks are really easy. Two bolts and one comes out. With the Koni yellows, they are hydraulic like Becca said so you can just push and pull them in as needed.

What do you mean it doesn't expand back like oem? Are you talking about the front ones or the back ones? The koni's are adjustable for the TT. It should have come with some instructions. They are a pain adjust fyi.
