Koni adjustable whats? damping, ride height, rebound, all three?

If its damping then normally only the fronts are adjustable whilst still on the car and can be done from the top mounts under the bonnet, fit the tool to the top and turn the tool clockwise or anti-clockwise to either soften or dampen, it should say on the tool which way does what. The rears normally have to be taken off the car to adjust the damping and will more than likely need compressing to adjust the damping, easily enough done with a little taking apart.

If ride height adjustable then jack up a wheel, remove it, undo the grub screw on the lower collar, then spin the collar to the desired height, measure the height from a fixed point on the shock to the collar so you can set the rest accordingly, do up the grub screw which is important!! refit wheel lower car. Repeat for the rest of your wheels, and check height afterwards to ensure your running level. And make sure your wheels are clear of everything before you go bombing about. You may need to go for an alignment check too if you adjust it quite a lot.

If its rebound adjustment.... i dunno never had it.

Hope this helps.

Just to add with the Koni option one above then usually the front are 360 degree and the rears are 720 so remember to alter equally on a ratio basis. So for the rears you will have to find the max or min to use as a start point whilst remembering how far you turned which way from your start point - if you see what I mean and as you have taken the rears off worth getting them alighned just to ensure all is good after
