Default Quick shock question

I'm about to put a set of internally adjustable Koni's on my CRXsi. This is my daily driver / street car that may see an occasional autocross. Since they're internally adjustable I only want to do this one time. The previous owner suggested softer in the front and firmer in the rear. Does this sound right?

Thanks

Yes, that's right... I would suggest 1/3-1/2 in the front, and 3/4-7/8 in the back. You might not want to run it at full stiff in the back because of the street use, but if you can handle it by-all-means run them at full stiff in the back.

Thanks Jason, these shocks haven't been used since they were on on Bob Smith's CRX in '94 when he won the championship. I hope they're still good.

They should be fine... if not, then pop them back off and revalve them. And what a small world this is. When I started autocrossing it was in Bob Smith's region. I remember his old MR2's and the very CRX that rode on the shocks that are now yours. Sheesh... 6 degrees of separation, I tell ya!

It is a small world isn't it.

I'm got Rob and Tommy coming in Friday night for a school. Could have been you.

How's this for small world. Randy Pobst autoxed in the club I started running in. (this part may make some of you feel old) He won the club championship the year I was Born. Best I can tell with dates and if the club held the christmas dinner the same weekend they always do now, then he may have won it the very night I was Born. Creepy Huh!
