what setting did u use for a 1 finger gap? im going to be purchasing these shocks soon and would like to know in advance so when i install them i dont have to re-install them a couple of times to get it right.

 

that all depends on the springs you're gonna be using.

 

right now the car has eibach pro kits and tokico blues. one of the shocks are blown and im not a fan of tokico that is why im replacing htem with koni's.

 

You will only get a 1 finger gap in the rear. The front is a 2+ finger gap.

Great suspension choice IMHO....

 

Personally, I wouldn't play around with the perch settings to change ride height -- I would leave them at the stock/normal height setting. If you truly want adjustability to change the gap between the tire tip and fender lip, I would advise getting some threaded coilovers.

 

When I installed my H&R Sports on my Koni shocks, I used the stock height perch settings, and ended up with 1-finger gap in front, and 2 in back. So about a week later I pulled the rear shocks off and moved the perches down to the lowest setting. Now my car sits perfectly even. All 4 corners are within 1/8" of each other (height of fender lip from ground).

But yeah, it depends on what springs you're using. Best bet is to install them at stock settings first and see what it's like (top slot in front, middle slot in back for the spring perch).

*edit* I am thinking about switching to GC coilovers in the future, because I would like to raise the rear maybe 5mm or so, and would like somewhat stiffer springs.

Next month I am going to lower my car with Koni's and they ITR springs. I think I'm gonna try the stock height at first and see how that goes and then adjust accordingly.

Hey patrick94GSR, just curious but do you have the Neuspeed Koni's or just the regular Koni Yellows?

 

regular, Neuspeed was backordered on their shocks at the time.

 

Well your car still looks good!
