Default Whats your setup with Koni Yellows?

What is your damper setting and perch level? did you guys leave them the way they came out of the box first? does this give a good ride for a dailiy driver accord?


also, how much should i cut the bumpstops with neuspeed sports and koni yellows?


thanks in advance

Im using koni yellows with H&R race springs. For the front I have the perch on the top ring, but flipped upside down, so its dropped, but not super slammed. In the rear, I have the perch on the lower ring. Some days, like on road trips and such, Ill set the dampning to cadillac smoof, other days, Ill have it 1/4 turn back from full stiffness.

koni/Ground control

i ride around town 1/4-1/2 turn from the most firm setting. for autocross i ride with them on full firm, for dragracing i leave the front 1/4-1/2 w/ the rear on full stiff.

i have both front and back on the lower perch, to give me more travel.

when i installed my sports i cut one lil section of the bumpstops.

i know that people say not to cut the bumpstops with the sports but then you bottom on the bumpstop, which isnt fun.

now i have my bumpstops cut in half w/ the GC's.

times i typed "bumpstop" including this one = 5

if you dont cut the bumpstops there is a chance that you will.

I don't even run bumpstops with my Koni Yellows. I have Skunkworks (the original not skunk2) coilovers, and some 1/2 inch think rubber isolating pads that I picked up that sit on top of the spring and act as a bumpstop. (No they are not the rubber that goes around the spring.) The struts are set to about half and the car rides very nice.
