Yellow SP3 won't turn full 720
I have the Koni Yellows SP3 (neuspeed) .... Instructions say it should go 720 degrees or two full turns..
I only get about 1 and 3/4 turns out of my neuspeed yellows... what gives? is this normal?
When on full soft, ride is soft.. when on full firm it's stiff as hell so I know the shocks are working.

yes it should be about within 1/4 turn of each other.

You have the correct number of turns for your car. Most off the shelf Honda Sport applications have about 1.75 turns stop to stop. Even though they turn less than two turns, the functional effect on the valving and forces generated is still approximately 100% even though they have fewer mechanical turns.
As a wide generality, most Koni valvings turn between 2.0 and 2.5 turns but the actual number depends on the stacking height of the various valving components used to make that shock. There are a few that go nearly three turns and a very few about 1.5 turns. The important thing is that both shocks on that end of the car turn essentially the same amount. The 8041 RACE units turn about 2.0+ turns stop to stop as they are made with a different combination of internal parts thus they have a different stack height when tightened down.
