Re: Koni yellows (again)

<x-flowed>No offense Brett, but didn't I specifically state: "Make sure you do this 
before you start flaming"? I might be the only one to know about this but I 
was trying to offer up new info and fuck the koni site!! Try it!! See what 
you have before you make assumptions; that you have no first hand experience 
  does not qualify your statement. This might not be for rebound or 
compression but I do know that there is an adjustment to be made and I 
couldnt see it being 2 rebound adjustments. I'm not trying to offend anyone 
but if you havent DONE THIS dont attempt to tell me what anyone else says 
(including koni) cause you might not be reading the right info. HTH and 
sorry if I'm being rather arrogant. (speaking of arrogant I noticed you 
didnt reply Sean :))
