I've read the owners manual for my 2001. I didn't see anything that explained the adjustment to the front shocks. They look like they are adjustable. Does the adjustment make a great difference in the ride or is it for performance handling? Maybe I should just leave it aqlone..smiles |

I may be wrong but I don't think that they are adjustable. I am in the same boat. Trying to improve the ride. First thing I did was lower the air pressure in the tires a little and then I installed a wonder bar. I'm going to replace the run flats with a set of Continental extreme contact. DWS tires as soon as I can scrape together the $. There are replacement shocks available but i don't know much about them. I'm sure others that know more will throw in their 2 cents. Good luck. |

The sidewalls on run flats are about 3 times as thick as normal tires. There is no give or flex in the sidewalls. If you change the tires to non-runflats, you will see a tremendous difference in ride quality. The wonder bar makes a huge difference, at least on the 99s. |

Most,,,not all, Prowlers came with Koni shocks from the factory. Another brand was used at one time,,,too many replacements due to leakage and discontinued. |

Can they be adjusted? If so, how many turns. |

I don't think they are adjustable. If they are, you can not do it on the car. I think you have to compress the spring to adjust them. |

The wonder bar made lots of difference on my Prowler. Run flats will still make the ride hard. I don't think trying to adjust the Konis will make much difference. |
