Default anyone with koni's running 18"S!!!!

ok i am going to try this again. last time i got to many extra post i didn't ask for.

I AM LOOKING FOR ANYONE RUNNING THE KONI YELLOW'S WITH 18"S ON THE 2ND PERCH. IF YOU ARE RUNNING ON THE 1ST PERCH DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO GO TO THE 2ND? OR WOULD YOU RUB?
sorry for the caps but last time i tired i had everyone with 16"s posting . ONLY 18"S

I am curious about this also. I just got my Koni's (yet to be installed) and am running kg/mm race springs. Since I do have some occasional rubbing, I want to go back to the stock spring and use the lower perch on the Koni. Any advice on this? Will my S look like a 4x4 sitting on my 18" Volks if I am only lowered 1/2 inch on the Konis/stock springs?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Do you have any pics? I am curious to see how the car sits on your 18's and how much wheel gap you have. Thanks again.

your question is kind of on the wtf side

rubbing is not the sole property of how high your suspension suspends the car.

think on that a bit.

i think what you're really trying to get at is How low does the second perch put you and what kind of springs are u using in combination with the koni shocks?

Sounds good. Thanks in advance for the pics. I am hoping to just go with my Konis and use the stock springs.

Plyrs 3 - How much wheel gap would you say you have with just your Konis on the lowest perch? 1 finger, 2 finger gap????

Take care.

right now i am running the KG/MM dr21's and i have BBS RG-R's and i do not rub at all. but i would like a little more aggressive of a ride height. that is why i wanted to do the koni's on the second perch with the kg/mm. i've seen pics of the koni's on the 2nd perch with the kg/mm with stock wheels and it looks amazing.
