KONI Adjustable Damping and Height Sport Miata Shock--8041-1204 SPORT REAR--SPECIAL!

DESCRIPTION

Miata shocks come in many flavors but these are our favorite Miata shocks. The most popular Miata shock for the last decade with Miata street users, autocrossers and track drivers alike. Includes adjustable damping from firm to soft so you can dial the balance you want between ride and handling.

These Koni Miata shocks always seem to work just a little better than the KYBs. Unlike the KYB's you don't get that "squish-squish" noise from the valving with these. As a bonus these Miata shocks include a three position spring perch that can be used to lower your Miata almost an inch even with stock springs.

Price is PER shock. If you need two, order two!

INSTALLATION NOTE: You need to drill factory top mounts from 10mm to 12mm to install these adjustable shocks.

Picture shows that clip ring has three positions for stock height, stock R package, and lowered height even with stock springs:

Damping adjustment tip: As with all Konis, the adjustment on the top of the shock to change from soft to firm is opposite from most other shock makers. With Konis, CLOCKWISE = Softer, and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE = Stiffer.
All Koni shocks ship set to the full-soft position. Shocks should not be driven/used when up "against the wall" of full-soft or full-hard. Therefore an important part during assembly is to turn the adjusters off of that full soft position, ensure smooth motion of the knob, and then set them to the position you desire. Note this is easier to do AFTER you have the shock and spring assembled as it can be difficult to hold the shock shaft in place and keep it from spinning with your hand before you have things assembled. If you want the shocks at full-soft, turn the knob all the way clockwise gently until you hit the wall, and then turn the knob counter-clockwise 1/8th turn or so that the shock is within its operating window. Similarly, if you want full stiff, turn the knob counter-clockwise until you find the wall at full stiff and then bring it back 1/8th turn or so. Never drive the car with the shock adjustment jammed against either end of the adjustment range.
