So as most of you know, adjusting the front Koni's can be hard because of the strut hats and this and that. Some people have taken a thick screwdriver and ground a notch out, some have ground down the strut plate thing.
I however with my amazing skillzzz, have come up with an easy to make tool.
First you take a normal good ole multi-function screwdriver like so:
Then you take a BFH (not so big in this case)
Then beat the hell out of it.
And a look at the tip:
And a pic of my manly hairy arm with manly mechanix gloves on acting like I'm adjusting my konis.
And what's nice about this is that anyone can make it... even those who break their trany mounts off *coughgeordiecough*
What if we have Bilsteins?
Did almost the same thing but drilled out the orig Koni knob and cyano'd the aluminum tube into it for that psuedo factory look!
What about us ultra-pimps who have externally adjustable rear Koni's? That'll hit the speaker enclosure it's so tall!
I give it 2 1/2 stars due to missing a key section of the marketing demiographic.
The stock adjusters work on the rear.:
Jacob. Let's trade shocks. Your Konis for my Bilsteins.
I'm only doing it as a favor to you...

1/4" O.D. tubing jamed inisde 5/16" O.D. tubing, mash ends(forged ) with vise and bend at 90 degree angle.
Large end is for the fronts and the small end for the rear adjuster(ultra-pimps). The 90 degree bend makes it easy to determine adjustments down to 1/8 of a turn.

I almost forgot mine is the ultra-pimp deluxe out of stainless steel.
Brass or copper is for wannabes.
BTW, I will be polishing it this weekend and adding carbonfiber inserts.

LOL, but that takes some sort of skill to make... anyone can beat something with a hammer.

Must be one of those hand models, I hear they make alot of money. But have to constantly watch what they're doing with their hands to avoid chaffing.
I'll have to try that tubing idea.. since my mild steel ghetto tool is starting to fatigue and the slot in it is getting wider.
Yes yes... I made it's slot get wider to save you bored people that SHOULD be doing your job the time of misquoting me.
one more shot for ya...
