Hi Paul.......The links you have posted only take me to a sign in page for windows skydrive?..........2 shocks per side on the rear are standard on e Types & adjustments can only be made to adjustable type shocks (Gaz/koni etc) standard type are non adjustable.....Steve

Hi Paul........Its really down to whether you want a hard or soft ride & trial & error...as far as I,m aware the adjustable konies cannot be adjusted whilst attached to the car & have to be either disconnected or removed....all the best Steve

Dear Steve,

On the Shocks you have a + & - Knob, not sure which is hard or soft

Hi Paul

+ is a firmer ride (normally). Normally notched so best to start at one end of notch range and select equal number of notches per shock.
