Default Koni Yellow Perch Adjustment Question

hey everyone,
Just picked up a set of Koni Yellows. The fronts have 3 (widely spaced) perches and the rears have 5 (tightly spaced) perches. I will be using these in combo with H&R sports. I've never liked the way Honda's are really low in the front and high in the back, so I'm wondering if I could put the fronts on the highest perch and the backs on a lower perch to even the car out? Will this negatively affect the handling of the car?
thanks in advance.

it should be ok...the rears might be a little bit more bouncier since the shock has to work harder... but if u do it to a point where the front and back are of equal height.. then it should ride pretty good.

yeah there's 5 rear perches - the Koni's have a stamp on them that says "For H&R" - I think they were a limited edition type thing that came out prior to the cup kits, but I'm not really sure.

I'm not going to lower the rear more than the front - just even it out a bit so I think it should look better than having a large difference in the gap between the front and back

I've never heard of 3 slots in front. My front ones have 2 and the rears have 3. The top slot is stock height in front, middle is stock height in back. Neuspeed Koni yellow shocks have 5 slots on all 4 corners. My car sat higher in back so I'm using the stock top perch in front, and the lowest perch in back to even out my ride.
