Default Koni Yellow settings

Last weekend I just install eibach springs and koni yellows.

https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=303417


I currently have all four set at about halfway between Full Firm and Full Soft.

I drive mainly on the street and occasional canyon runs.

For those that have these shocks. What are yours set at?

Do you differ the fronts from the rears?


For those that track with these shocks. What are yours set at?


Any info would be much obliged.

Mine are set at 3/4 turn off of full soft in the front and 1/4 turn off of full soft in the rear. This is based on the settings that you can find in the Autocross FAQ. I have a Comptech front sway bar set at full stiff and the car feels great at the autocross on Hoosier A3S04s. I don't change the settings for the street and the car is a little rougher than stock but still more than acceptable, even for long highway cruises.

I just set mine up with 3/4 of a 360 degree turn off of full soft all the way around. Did'nt quite understand the instructions. Directions showed 180, 360 and then clamping and turning more if necessary. Have not driven enough yet to get an accurate feel. I would like to get some feedback from others as well.

Koni Yellows on lower perch,with Kg/mm Supersports;1.1" drop,all around.
There is 1and3/4 turn from full soft,to full firm,on those shocks,
Full soft,is a litte softer than OEM,and full Firm,is a LOT stiffer than OEM.
Street set upne turn from full soft all around;so.about 60% on the firm side.
Track st up:Full Firm in the front,and I leave them at 60% in the rear.
BTW:rear driver side is a Bitch to adjust.!!!
