Default koni yellow question

i have a couple questions regarding the koni yellow struts.

1) is there any other differences between the neuspeed/sport and other koni yellow other than the 5 height positions to the 3?

2) how much does raising the spring perch lower and raise the vehicle? in how many increments?

1) yes they are shortened (alot i gues) and revalved (i think not 100% sure).

2) well how much ever you move the perch is the amount it will affect ur ride height, move the perch 1" your ride height will change an inch (of course this is all with the range of the rod of the damper).

im ******* confused as **** and your repetitive redunt questions are starting to bother me, but im gona try and help you out here.


you said you have GC and H&R race spring now i don't now why in gods name you would have bought the H&R's when you already had the GC. when if you wanted higher spring rates you could have went into the RR/autoX forum and looked at the race srping FS/WTB thread.


now why don't you purchase koni yellow call ground control 6778600 order the "baby" sleeve for the yellows and what ever ERS spring rates you want and length there help full dudes they will help you decide. id stick with the normal lengh and just get a stiffer rear spring.

then go to the classifieds sell you H&R race springs, and your OTC GC's.

then have some that knows something about suspension install it all. because from all of the promblems you post it doesn't sound like you can handle it.


heres a link to GC's site. and it lists all the info about all the ERS springs

the shaft is shortened, but not by like a huge amount

the perches don't give you any additional height adjustability... the top perch is placed just as it is on the normal koni as is the bottom... it's like this:

"neuspeed-spec" vs. "factory-spec"
