    Man i am telling you that car would be so nice with a white cover with the top down. I am going to bring one when I go to a another event you are at and you can put it on and take a pic see if ya like it. The black looks good to of course but in my mind that white is gonna make it pop. I am putting the same yellow koni on one of my cars seen a few at takeover and asked the owners about them and didn't get a single negative review. Did you have this done before takeover??

    @31acruz 3 года назад

    I think you are using old data, I just purchased rear yellow and you can't adjust them with the white knob, you have to poke through two little holes that are no on the top disc of the shock and knock down an internal rubber topper, once it falls down you have to pull up the shock by hand to see and remove the stopper, then you have to press down all the way to engage the cam to adjust as usual. Don't know why they made it more complicated and you can't do it on the fly, obviously it has to be done with the shock removed from the car.
