Koni Yellow SP3 stock perch location?
Hi, I recently acquired some Koni Yellows, the Neuspeed SP3 versions with 5 rear perch choices. Which of the 5 is considered the same as stock height?

The middle one of the five is stock and there are two each grooves to raise or lower the car a bit more. The grooves are in 8mm increments so the effect of each groove is in the ballpark of an additional half inch but three are other factors that can make that not exact.

Thx for the input guys. I am definately going to compare the 2, although the konis are supposed to have a 20mm shorter stock body, meaning my #'s might be off..

The shock rod is 20mm shorter, not the body!

It's actually a droop limiter. The shaft is the same length as Yellows (so is the body), but the limiter prevents the shaft from extending all the way (by 20mm). This is to help pass inspection in places were your springs MUST be preloaded at all times to get your vehicle registered.

I second CRX Lee's response the middle setting is the stock setting
