Konis...help!

My Koni Sport adjustables are getting a bit sick.
I decided to try to stiffen them up in the rear abit......
I thought on the rears it was a matter of taking the lower bolt out and twisting the actual body of the shock clockwise to stiffen them up.
ive been turning then round and around and there is no difference and it wont actually come to a stop..it just keeps turning...both sides.
argh...what is going onnnnnnn :mad:
lol.
why cant the just have a setup like on the fronts!!! damn.

cheers!
wound it up a little bit, still too soft :( think they are getting a bit sick?
is there any way to recharge them? ive seen a guy in Launnie advertising a shock rebuild service.

the beauty of Koni's is that they can be rebuilt :) and it should be relatively inexpensive

Virtually a lifetime warranty too! Definitely have it checked by a Koni specialist though.
