Adjustion compression on a Koni 8612 insert?
 
While the Ground Control suspension kit it pretty cool, it came with absolutely no instructions, so does anybody know off hand which direction softens the compression on a Koni 8612, clockwise while looking at the adjuster or counter clockwise?

Evil I do apologize that you did not get any adjustment instructions with your system. I copied these instructions off Koni's website,

Rebound Adjustment Procedures

Externally Adjustable. These dampers can be adjusted, literally at the turn of a knob, a technique borrowed from Formula-1 racing where KONI dampers have dominated the field for years. One can switch back and forth, in most cases in a matter of seconds, from a comfortable "touring" setting to a more firmer setting for a sporty drive. By means of a knob damping forces can be altered to driving conditions or personal preferences.


REBOUND ADJUSTMENT DIRECTION - WITH KNOB
Clockwise = Softer
Counter Clockwise = Firmer

COMPRESSION ADJUSTMENT DIRECTION
Clockwise = Firmer
Counter Clockwise = Softer


If you have any further questions please let me know.
