I have had Koni's on two of my Elans, from Tony Thompson Racing. Both sets were their "fast road" spec. When fitted, you can adjust them via a hole in the rear parcel shelf at each side of the car. If I remember correctly, , you turn the "flat" on the top of the insert anti-clockwise to stiffen, clockwise to make softer, but you'll confirm that when you do it.
Hope that helps.
