I have koni yellow shocks with Eibach springs. I just got the car. Im not sure what rate springs they are. But anyways, i was wondering if there is a method to adjusting suspension. Front/ rear siffness. And how does the **** work, is it in clicks, or does it just turn freely. If so how do i know if they are equal? What stiffnes should i have it set at for driving around town, pretty rough roads. thanks

 

I expect they are the externally adjustable type so here is the process - http://www.koni-na.com/****.cfm

There are not any specific clicks as it is an infinite adjustment range from min to max. It stops at Min setting and at Max setting. Use the stop as a reference point at Min or Max (preferably Min) and then adjust each shock the same number of fractional or complete turns to get the same settings.

The shocks are twice as firm at the Max setting as they are at the Min setting so rearely for street use does one find the beed to be over about 1 turn from the minumum setting which is a bit over half way into the range. For most people with aftermarket performacne springs on the street, being between 1/2 and 1 turn from the Min setting will be a good balance of handling and street livability. If you do track events, autocross, etc. you will likely bias it higher on the rear rebound setting to make the car rotate better. On the the street thoug, most people find the best balance in the general vicinity of turns front and rear.

 

Take a picture of the numbers on your springs and some one can read to you what it is. Theirs some code that makes sense if you understand it. Lee you win the good cookie of the day today for answering that question. He could have searched it in about 60 seconds.
