Question Are the stock 1997 z shocks adjustable?

I have a 1997 z28 m6. I have only had my camaro a few months and noticed that on the shocks they say "adjustable" on them. I am curious on how to adjust these because i would like to change the stance to make it a bit lower more aggressive. Any help, comments, or advice would be very helpful.

No, you cannot adjust a factory shock. If yours do say "adjustable" and have some sort of dial or ****, they ain't stock. Nor will that change the stance but simply the ride quality/weight transfer characteristics.

whats the brand name? there are a couple struts that will adjust the hight in the front. the base on the strut for the sping has two settings. i have double adjustable koni s and u can adjust them 3/4 in down and adjust ride hardness. the back ones just adjust the ride.

after removing a thick layer of grease and dirt I found that they are Koni's. How do you go about adjusting them? is it worth it? Im not sure how they are adjusted because the rear end of the car sits lower than stock but i can't tell on the front.
