    No tool needed, simply raise the car so that the springs are relaxed and you can turn the adjuster rings by hand (as long as nobody overtightened the setscrews).

    if you need something, a drift punch or a small Phillips screwdriver will do it.

    If none of the above options work, Breeze has a spanner for Konis: https://www.breezeautomotive.com/sho...ng-adjustment/

    Koni sells a spanner for their shocks. It's P/N 7029170080. IIRC, it's like $18.
    MkIV Roadster build: Gen 2 Coyote, IRS, TKO600. Ordered 10/24/18. Delivered 1/29/19. Engine installed 8/8/21. First start 9/12/21. First go-kart 9/17/21. Off to paint 4/11/22. Back from paint 12/30/22. Build thread here.

    When I first read that, I thought the part number was IIRC. I was thinking "Look at the big brain on John"!

    That wrench won't work on our FFR provided Koni shocks. You need the pin type, or just do as Jeff said and unload the springs and turn them by hand. If you don't believe me, I'll sell you the one collecting dust in my garage.

    I guess I should clarify which Koni shocks I'm referring to. I have the silver double-adjustable Koni's and the wrench I mentioned works perfectly on those.
