According to the description on their site these are the red Konis, not the yellow ones. These are not externally adjustable with the twist of the **** like the yellow ones. Better call them and speak to somebody before you place your order.

I'm looking at the QA1's in the Vette mag I just got today. Those look really neat huh? Seperate bounce and jounce ***** for on car adjustments?

Decisions decisions.........

I had to adjust the red Konis for the front before installing them. Maybe I should change directions on this??

No, I'm not. Took me at least 2 minutes to adjust the shocks during my rear brake pad swap.

Not sure what's so difficult about removing two bolts/side, adjusting the shock, and reinstalling the bolts.

You're right, but you have to take them off to adjust them. I believe you have to compress them and then turn one half of it. I thought that they had like three adjustment settings.

That is exactly right... That's the red Koni's like I put on the front of the '84. Look at page 9 of the June 2005 issue of VETTE magazine. See the two ***** on the bottom of the shock body?

Way toooo cool!!!!!!!!
