I some one ground controls with konis with 550f
and 350r. they ride kinda bouncy on my car.
shocks are almost new. is it because of the
spring rates?

 

How low are you? Are you sure you're not hitting the bump stops?

 

Im at the lowest setting on the GC and koni. how stiff or soft should i adjust it?

 

You're probably hitting the bump stops. You can check by putting a zip tie on the rod that goes into the shock body and driving around, then seeing where it is. If its against the bump stop, you need to either raise the car up or address the lack of suspension travel in another manner.

You can get extended top hats to give your car a little more travel. There is also a writeup on here about lowering the shock within the front fork. Also, I believe Koni offers shocks that have the shock body shortened.

 

any other way for me to ride lower?

 

dude i was so planning to buy the same setup 550f 350r koni sp3, top hat. I thought that was the dream slammed set up! maybe you have a big bump stop? maybe rims are 16" with 50s or 45s? or maybe spring rate are just to stiff? this is mine with gc and stock shocks, 380f 250r, 15" ls mesh on 195,50,15


post some pictures of yours? i still believe this is the slammed set up! maybe just something is wrong. prove me wrong so that i don't spend $1000 on not slammed setup.

 

thats sick bro. ima slap on my boi's 15's tommorows and ill take a pic. i was on 16's on 45's and there was like 3/4 of an inch from the fender and lip. i think my front spring rate is hella high. Can i swap my rear 350 spring to the front?

 

never done it but if front spring length is same as back then yes. is it really that stiff? and looking forward for some pictures, make sure you slam it

 

haha yeah its gonna be alll the way .. hope its going low.

 

did you slam it? pictures?

 

snap some shots earlier. ill post tommorow im hella tired...

 

Sorry for shiiiity camera phone pic.

 

thank you! is this set to the lowest?

 

yea in the front but the back has like 11 turns. im thinking of using the back cup in the front.

 

cool, tell me how that goes and take some pictures. i want to know!

 

Do you think its gonna work though?

 

What do you mean by this? You are using GC on Konis that look like this, correct?

 

^can you switch the sleeves? put the back on the front and front in the back?

 

When you said "cup" did you mean sleeve? Or something else?

Why would you want to switch the sleeves? The only difference is the length of the sleeve, but both sit on the Koni circlip just the same, and neither would let you go any lower than the other.

You could always move the Koni circlip down to the lower groove to be able to go lower.

 

haha i just though about that right now. i did that but i cant seem to go lower. is it bad to use the back sprint to the front? its 550f and 350r

 

this guy have the same setup as yours n he recommends 550f 350r

find a way to lower it

 

wtf? how he go so low? btw i have the regular koni yellow not the shorten ones.
