Default Koni yellow temp sensitive?

Anyone with koni yellows noticed they are sensitive to temperature? It's been hot here in NJ mid to upper 90's and the car feels alot softer then when the weather is cooler.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

None. I live in Charlotte, NC and it has been extremely hot here (high 90s). What springs do you have? It could be them or possibly tires.

I have the ground control kit. Which has the eibach 440f and 380r. I just adjusted them and it is feels much better.

I did a little research and found another person have the same issue. I think it's more then just tires. I have the stock s-02's.

How old are they? I have always had problems with the seals wearing on the street-based Konis. FWIW, the "tuning" was always intended to compensate for seal wear and is a kludge adjustment vs. stack tuning.
