Non Lexus Suspension Help!

[Glyn C]

I all

Hope I have posted this in the right section - Non Lexus related ! (please move if required)

I have a Imported Mazda MX5 (Eunos) Roadster - Something for a weekend blast round the lanes with the top down!

She is a cute little thing which is currently fitted ( not by me) with a full Koni Suspension kit

The downside is that she is too low and hits the ground on aything other than a glass surface

I have been informed that Koni's have an adjustable Spring cup which can raise the ride height of the car and this might solve my problem.

I have visually checked the shocks on the front today and there is a groove round the shock body just about 1-2cm below the cup - I believe this is the way the cup is located with a circlip in this groove

I have checked on the Koni website and it states there are three grooves on the front and two on the rear.

Does anyone know the porceedure for adjusting these

Is it a simple matter of clamping the spring and moving the cup up ( and circlip) and can this be done without dismantling the suspension??

Failing that would I have to be looking at replacing the springs - didn't want to change the shocks as they are excellent

Any ideas suggestion are welcome - I have put up with this for a while now but I don't think the exhaust can take much more hammering-

You pretty much right about the adjustment proceedure buy you may find it a bit tricky to remove the retaining clip unless you the right tool.

Don't forget that raising the ride height will increase the tension on the spring which means that the installed spring rate will be higher which makes the ride firmer.
