I have for the last two years approximately been running RED Koni shocks front and rear. Its fair to say they are in good condition.

On my last service, I questioned Darren from AFAS on anything being wrong with my suspension. Despite turn in being OK, and the vehicle essentially cornering where I want it too, it seemed to roll more than I remembered before my last shocks gave up the ghost.

Darren took it for a spin, and said whilst nothin particular being wrong, seemed to think that it was "too soft" for a GSR. Did anyone else find this problem ? I have now upgraded the rear swaybar, and this has made a considerable improvement, but it still seems a it rolls too much. I don't drive another car which is a better handler or anything, but am I expecting too much for a stock GSR ?

Perhaps I just want more, and need to uprate my springs. Any feedback appreciated
 
how much improvement was the rear swaybar? was there a significant difference? i just upgraded from average pedders suspension to hotbits coilovers and i love roundabouts/turns now.
 
As far as I am aware, they have not been adjusted. But they were fitted by Toperformance, who, as the importers, should know what level to adjust to.

I didn't know the "red" or standard ones could be adjusted ? And when I checked with them, they didn't mention that as an option ?

reds are usually rebound adjustable,

when you push it down to full travel there is a

keyway that the shock shaft sits into which you can

turn to adjust, they dont click into place though.

All Koni shock absorbers are adjustable. The Koni red shocks are an oil only shock and adjustment is performed by removing the strut ftom the car.
Koni yellow are a gas charged oil and adjustment is made with the shock still fitted to the vehicle
