Although they arrived in Koni cardboard packaging the units are bright yellow and there are no identifying model number markings or branding.

The sheet that comes with them has four sets of sketches supposedly to inform how to adjust them but raises more questions than it answers.

Pretty unimpressive as a retail experience. I hope they work well enough to justify the £300 the pair.

Mike - did you fit them to the car as supplied or did you make any adjustment before fitting them?
Hi
mine were in the same process as yours

I fitted the m as delivered , but I think they are a little hard so at some point will need to take them off and adjust , probably this winter

and yes mine don't have any model marking

Cheers Mike
