Default Koni Perches

Hey guys, im about to install my koni yellows. I got some H&R springs to go with them, and i want the springs to drop the car the ammount they said they would. What perch should they be set on? The front shocks have two, and the rear have three perches. All for 96 civic coupe.

top perch on the front, middle perch on the back.

To be sure, though, just put them in that position and them compare them side-by-side with your OEM shocks.

I believe the instruction sheet that came with my Koni shocks indicated that top in front is stock, and middle in back is stock.

I'm using stock springs on the lowest perch height all around and it's way lower than stock.

getting aftermarket shocks can lower your car even more?

if you have shocks like Konis with adjustable perch height settings, then yes

I have mine set at the middle perch settings. That's what the instructions said to set it at.

Unless you have Neuspeed Konis, there is no middle for the front shocks, only top or bottom. Top is the stock setting if that's what you want.
