Koni + GC + GC Top hat, which height should i use?
i just got my set of koni yellows + gc's
when i assembled them, the rear clip came on the middle ring, i assembled everything and it seemed like i had to spin the ring all the way up just to preload the suspension, so i moved the clip up one level, and it seemed better
question is, does it affect anything by which ring i use? here's a pic of what i'm talking about
it came factory on the #2, but i moved it up to #1

It doesn't matter much which groove you put the circlip in, since they are adjustable coilovers. All it will affect is the position of the perch on the sleeve.

You don't preload it at all. The spring perch sets the ride height.

oh ok, so the GC's should be loose on the shocks when the car is jacked up, and the perch only affect ride height, got it

My Koni Sport circlips are set at the top groove in the front and middle groove in the rear.
