isn't there a ring/perch on the koni yellows to adjust the ride height in two or three different settings?

There are metal rings that the spring perches sit on that you can move up and down, which will adjust your ride height, you will have to take the shocks out though to do it.

The Koni Yellows have an adjustable perch? This is new to me. I thought nothing was adjustable on them. Not even the dampening.

As someone stated before:
Koni Yellows and Ground Control springs.

everyone says to go with the ground controls..and id love to! but, they cost like 300$ thats a lot for someone who doesnt work and goes to school full time..anyways.i like that idea of the "lowering the perch" thing..i think i might just try that..and if its low enough..i wont have to waste money, yay!

but like i said earlier...how would i know at what perch i am sitting at right now?..i dont wanna take the shocks out and find out that they are already on the lowest perch settings..haha that would suck. Thanks!

you can see rings in the actual shock where a clip can fit around them, if there arent any of these rings right under the perch then you are on the lowest one already....There are two rings on the front shocks and 3 on the rears
