Default Koni perches

Just wondering where everyone with koni yellow's has their perches at. The front was rubbing on the lowest setting so i moved them up and now the back is lower. I have lowering springs so this is my only way to adjust ride height right now.

Default Re: Koni perches (t_c_l_6)

Which yellow shocks and which grooves do you have them in? This is covered many times here biut:

KONI Sport front- Two grooves (stock and lower)
KONI Sport rears- Three grooves (raised, stock and lower)
KONI Neuspeed SP3 front and rear- Five grooves Two raised, stoick in the middle, two lower)

If you are lowering the car with lowering springs, it is recommended to keep the perches in the stock locations to give you the height the spring company designed for. Running lowering sprigns in a lowering groove will give you a cumulative lowering effect and the car will be quite low and probably undersprung for the height. Lowering sprigns with raised perches can raise the car a bit but does run the risk of coil bind depending on the heights. Doing one end and not the other risks and non-level car like you have.
