i had my konis fitted bye a local garage, on top of the original rear struts there was a grey solanoid which kind of fitted on top,but the konis didnt have the attachment so the garage just left them hanging,so now everytime i put the handbrake on theres an anoying clonk from them.Will it be ok just to strap them up or do they go there for a specific reason,also ive noticed a severe amount of brake dust all over the rear of the car now,my pads a v low and will be changed tomorrow,could it be this thats causing the dust.........

dunno much about koni suspension.. but getting brake rotor wet often, using high degree brake pads and a worn brake pad gives tons of dust...

on a UK car you have adjustable rear shocks witch can be adjusted by pulling up the hand brake one notch i would disconnected them as there is now no need for them :D
