Default Planning to bring back to stock height.

I'm planning to give away my integ to my dad. He doesn't like lowered driving. Need to bring it back to stock height.

Will stock springs be compatiable with KONI yellows?

Why not just look on craigslist for stock shocks and springs? Then sell your konis.

OEM style springs will fit fine. The spring perches originally included are meant for this...

Thanks for the response. As you know in the Konis there are three grooves in the shock. Where should I set the "perches" on for the factory look.

What I mean to say is, should I set it to the top, middle, or bottom perch?

middle on the shocks with 3 and the top on the fronts which only have 2. the konis are great for stock springs since they help tighten up the massive sway of the taller lightweight springs.

as for where you set the valving? probably start in the middle and work one way or the other depending on driver preference.

Correct.

Try full soft instead. The suspension will still be a little over damped with those soft OEM springs, but it will only get harsher as the shocks are turned up. Of course, personal preference still makes the final call on this one.

I found 1/2 turn from full soft to be close to correctly damped with 400/400 springs on my GSR. Anything softer, and I'd just set the shock to full soft and never worry about it.
