You can have

If they're not adjustable. I've already got some GLT ones I'm happy to run until I've got money for Dai's

AFAIK they're adjustable. But not when they're on the car. I have some instructions ... somewhere ...

jup they're adjustable; koni red's are only adjustable in rebound. (koni yellow in bound and rebound)
you pull it completely out, remove the spacers along the piston
fully compress it and slowly turn it, you'll feel it lock into a slot and when it is in this slot you are adjusting the damper. anti-clockwise = softer. clockwise = harder

Hi
I can't confirm mileage.
Anyway, they still perform very good (a loot better than stock ones), and one big advantage of this koni shocks is that they can be easily refurbished to "as new" state

Does anybody have an idea how much these would cost to get refurbished? Approximately?

Give Koni a ring dude, they are one of the few companies that will rebuild their old units.

Good call. Should have thought of that really
If anyone is interested, a company who Koni recommended (and apparently use) charge between £80-90 + VAT + carriage per shock for a refurb. Plus more if there is any more serious damage.

Don't Konis have a lifetime guarantee? You probably need the original bill though ...

They'll also revalve anything to your specs if you as nicely enough. So, there's a chance you could get them to put bump and rebound in a red case, if you don't ask...

I want to have them but there's no point, I need Dai's/GAZ because I need the adjustment to be relatively quick so I can set it up before a motorway commute.
You're welcome to them borrie
