ok i bought koni sport shocks and i got some ground controls. i dont know the difference and of course im a noob..very curious how you suppose to make a better DD on street where its kinda stiff and soft at the same time =D...iono but people say it depends whos the driver. but i still want all you honda fans out there comments about this koni sport shocks.

i only know the more you firm it the more it'll be stiffer? but is there an end by turning it so much where it can get stuck to the fullness stiff? and softness.

NEED HELP...

 

Yes, you just turn the **** all the way in either direction. I'm not sure I understand your question.

 

Better handling and a comfortable ride are different things, comfort depends mostly on springrate.

Koni says not to adjust the sports to max stiffness.

 

If you want to go full soft, turn the **** all the way clockwise. I know it sounds backwards, but that's how mine are.

 

CCW = stiff
CW = soft

there's an arrow on the adjustment **** that shows which way to turn it.

 

For the best ride quality, start off on full soft, and turn one end (front or rear) up in small increments until the car feels worse, then back off slightly, leave it there, and repeat for the other end. Be sure to drive over some dips / rough pavement while testing.

Too soft produces a bouncy ride. Too stiff is harsh. You want to tune them for the exact car weight and spring rates, and the easiest way for a street car is trial and error.

 

oh wow. i ran over that white **** that says firm and has an arrow O_O...where can i buy this thing at? should i contact koni?
thanks for the reply..

 

nice reply thank you!!!

 

Look on the Koni North America website. They have them for a few bucks.

 

are you running koni sport shocks with ground control? tahts what i got. i have em1 and its 2 half inch drop. i want a good rate on this so should i go 400f/350r? on this height (2 half inch drop)???? let me know...



please ALL EM1 reply....or any kind of help will be GREAT!!!?!!

 

will do.. thank you.

 

link to Koni saying not to adjust to full stiff?

 

Their rep who used to post on here has stated that it is best if you don't. Just turn them back ever so slightly from full instead. The needle can get stuck if you leave them at full stiff for extended durations or bottom out the shock.

I'm not going to search for it, more effort than it's worth.

I've accidentally left mine on full stiff for 2 months at a time without issue.

 

It says so on the leaflet accompanying my Yellows.

 

ok tunernoob cleared it up for me.
