Default Koni yellows make rear sit lower?

For the 5th gen owners with koni yellows, did the rear sit lower after you installed the yellows? i had neuspeed sports with stock shocks and my height in the front and back was equal, now the rear sits lower. is this normal? i set all teh settings liek the damper and height settings as teh way they came out of the box.

oh yeah another question


do the shocks come full soft when they come in the box?
should the wheels be off the ground when i adjust the shocks or it doesn't matter? can the front 2 have different dampness compared to the rear 2?

yes they will make the rear sit lower
no you do not have to adjust them while the wheel is in the air
if you cannot tell the setting out of the box then send them back, did you get an adjustment tool with them?
yes you can set them at two different dampers front to rear, I run my rear full stiff and front 3/4 to 1 turn from full soft

yes i got 2 adjustment tools, i just didn't check to see if they were set at full soft from the factory. i just installed them the way they were and was planning to adjust them later.

Mine were at full soft from the factory. The rear does sit alittle bit lower. But also stock my rear looked alittle bit lower. So i think its all relative. How much did u get them for?
