Default What configuratioin for my Koni Yellow's in my 00 Civic?

I had recently order the Koni Yellow's kit, adjustable height and damping. I will use it in mi 00 EK4 Civic but would know some good parameters for street use, I use 17" Wheels and 205/40 tires (the car went to the sky whit the rims).

Also I'm a little worried about my tires, Will i need a Camber Kit when i get low my car?

Thankz anyway.Ciao.

some people say to just get a good alignment. Others say you need the camber kit. As far as the parameters go, play around w/ the adjustability and see what you like. It really a matter of taste/preferance.

Yes, just get an alignment. Just remember you have to align the car every time you adjust the height. I'd recommend getting them to 0 the toe, instead of the stock rear toe in, as it will reduce understeer and prolong tire life slightly. If you go low enough to have absurd camber, then replacing the UCA with an adjustable camber unit would just remove some of the little remaining space between the UCA and the upper spring perch, so not really worth it imo. If your going to autocross or track the car, then you might think about a camber kit to dial in the camber.

I'd start with the shocks fairly low, if not full soft, and just get used to the new suspension. Then you can dial in some shock stiffness as you see fit until it feels best for you.
