are the koni perches used for only stock springs? anyone using the lowest perche on lowering springs like H&Rs?

i did a search and someone said "lowering a car with both lowering perches and lowering springs is going to have a cumulative lowering effect and it is quite easy to over lower your car this way with what will likely be too soft a spring rate for that height then."

I think that someone was CRX Lee ..... he runs Koni North America, so he probably knows best. That being said, I've driven with my Pro-kits set to the lowest perch for a while now. Nothing bad has happened, but I'm playing with fire. As soon as I get ready for an alignment I'm going to put it back to the middle perch.

 

I would leave it at the stock perch when using lowering springs and get the springs that lower the amount you want.

how long have you been riding on the lowest perch? i really wanted shocks that can lower my car a little bit more. but if the perches are only for stock springs, then there's no point in buying the konis. i guess i'll save my money and get the kyb agx. i'm not a hardcore autox'er.

only a couple thousand miles, but I'm very carefull about hitting potholes and stuff.

If you're not looking for top performance, then just go with KYBs.

 

is the ride quality the same as if you're on the stock perche or is it more rough?
