Koni Heavy Track

Got them on the front of my Jack - no issues to date - but have not punished them yet - just a mild bush trip or two.

Ive had them fitted front and rear on my NP Pajero for almost 12 mths with Kings.I cant fault them and they have been used on some pretty tough stuff.I adjusted front and rear to medium this suits my vehicle with all the gear on it. Don't set yours any more than a quarter of a turn as you may start to pick up wheels

G'day Bag Boy. I replaced my standard springs and shocks with 2"Kings/Koni's and never looked back.

I adjusted the front up 1/2 turn and a full turn on the back. The ride is a little choppy empty at 40-50kph on rough roads, but becomes silky smooth above 70kph. A bit of the problem could be LT tyres fitted. Once a couple of passengers or luggage are added there's not a problem

No wallowing, or pitching and they soak up whatever you can throw at them, brilliant!

Cheers

Have them on my Terracan, and they are good. Don't have to remove them to adjust them, just take the bottom bolt off and adjust them then. But as said you shouldn't need to adjust them.

I have a set front and back on an LC100 series std wagon, with two inch King springs and polys in the back. They are very good in the rough and the soft compression damping allows them to absorb the square-edged bumps pretty well. The car handles best at about 40+ kph in the bumpy stuff, just have to slow down for the whoops and bumps that are too large for the suspension to handle.

I have not had any issues with fade etc. I read advice on this forum that they should be installed pretty much as supplied, ie at minimal rebound damping. For me that was well under optimal. We did a trip through central Australia at these settings (about 10,000 km) including the Simpson and they were just too soft - sway around corners and multiple front-back rebounds on sand whoops when you went through them too fast and bottomed out the suspension. They were fine in the small rocks eg roads along riverbeds although a little bouncy. They were much better than stock but too soft regardless.

I did not adjust them then as I did not realise how easy it was at the time. Simply unbolt the lower end of the shock, compress it fully and turn clockwise. You'll feel the adjuster tang catch internally, then keep turning lightly until its full in. Try the difference in damping by hand - you'll feel it easily. Then while pushing in turn it out counterclockwise the desired amount and reattach it. Easier if you've got some tall ramps or something to drive the car onto to do it without unbolting the wheels.

Final adjustment for what feels best in my opinion has the front 1 turn out from full in (ie turn in clockwise to max, lightly, then turn out 1 turn); and the back 3/4 turn out from full. I have tried settings within a 1/4 turn of these and this seems optimal for me and my vehicle (LC100, generally loaded and ready for a trip). It is a lot more damping than may be recommended, maybe I drive faster than recommended I don't know.

Yes they are good, and if you go to the trouble of adjusting them to suit your driving style they are even better. Casper
