Default GC/KONI 550F 350R adjustments

I have a GC/Koni setup with 550f and 350r spring rates
I was wondering how i should adjust my koni's for the
best ride. all stiff or all soft? Im in a DB if that helps.

It's all personal preference, just try it different ways and see how you like it. Find a certain stretch of road with varying surfaces, and drive up and down the road, making different adjustments each time.

With 550 lb front springs (right at the limit of what OTS Konis can handle) you'll probably have to set the damping fairly high to avoid being underdamped.

i'm on 500/430 and cranked to firm in order to get decent dampening. like pat has said, personal preference though.
