I have a set of koni yellows with ground control coilovers. I got 400/450 springs, but GC didnt not tell what to put where. I put the 450 in the front, and 400 in the rear. I fell that my car gets unbalanced around a sharp corner and spins out I played with the shock settings, and i dont think it helped at all (espcially ghey since the rear konis arent externally adjustable ).

I have been driving on this for about 4-5 months on the street and it seems ok, but i havent been in another itr with suspension.

 

I don't understand. What's the exact problem? Car is unbalanced/unstable? Or, you have too much over-steer around corner?

You should set it to give understeer at first, and as you get used to the suspension, you should slowly make it over-steer to your liking.

My mugen lowdowns were stable as heck in all condition.

 

car becomes unblanced and the rear spins out. myabe its because of the track or, just cuz of the tires not being warm. but the *** end likes to slide.

 

thats more a product of oversteer which would be induced by having the stiifer springs in the rear.

 

if it seems that the back swings out more, then it seems that you have the stiffer springs at the back.

 

Alignment settings?

Even more aggressive here at 400F/600R, and aggressive camber settings, and the car feels stable

 

I agree with 216.225........................................... .

 

all koni yellows are externally adjustable. even the rear ones.

Oh man i totally forgot about that.

Note to self: Get wheel alingment

I think now that may be hurting my car, i have to hold the wheel a little to the one way or it will pull to the left

no man, internally adjustable only(have to take shock completely out of car-no turny ***). unless they re;eased a new set in the last 5 months

 

according to their website they are externally adjustable.... perhaps you have some koni reds that have been painted yellow?

DAM KONI!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like ill have to buy another set of shocks and try and sell these....Koni

 

ah-ha! thanks for clarifying. time to get some new rear shocks.

seriously though, (redx), i have a more understeer-prone car, with the same spring rates and suspension techniques swaybars and oversteer is quite manageable... of course my car is only dropped an inch (chicago streets can get rough)... once you get the easily-adjustable konis in the rear and get an alignment your problems will go away with proper adjustment...

then the fun begins.

 

maybe you're just a bad driver Greg??? hahha j/k j/k
