Yes i search and i got some info but not enough for me to understand completley

ok so i installed Tanabe Precedo springs and am gonna have my Koni installed on my next day off both he front and rear shocks have 5 perch settings 2 up and 2 down each about 1/2" one they are installed what will each perch setting drop it by rear and front?

and second the nuespeed have a 20mm shorter shaft what exactly does that affect

and lastley will just putting the koni yellows drop it lower then stock? my current ones are stock well the previouse owner never knew the term "Service" so there all blown to hell you can atcuall y pump the rod with your fingers when they are off

anyways i would love to get this info as i see info on the three perch ones all over but not much on preludes, not the neuspeeds and i have no idea what the 2omm shorter rod/shaft whatever affects.

 

I have the Neuspeed Koni's. The only point of the shorter shaft is for droop limiting. So if your car is unweighted the springs won't come loose and rattle. It may or may not decrease the max height available to you. It is not the same as a shortened shock body. I got this from my experience with them, from things that CRXLee, who works at Koni, has said here on the board, and from calls to Neuspeed, who btw, weren't very forthcoming or knowledgeable about their own product. The height adjustment range is, as far as I know, the same as normal Koni adjustables, you just get extra notches within that range. So...unless you are getting an exceptional deal on them, I can't think of any reason to get the Neuspeed over the regular Koni's. I won't.

The lowest adjustment on the perch should be a little lower than stock. A 1/2 inch maybe but probably not. But I use coilover type adjustable spring perches, so I keep them at the top.

 

I have shortned and re-valved konis on my ITA CRX and the purpose of shortening the shock is so you can run the car lower without bottoming out the shock.

Yeah, but with the Neuspeed versions, it's just the shock shaft, not the body.

 

The Neuspeed KONI shocks have 5 grooves each and the middle of the five (the one the circlip comnes in from the factory) is the stock perch location. If you are going to lower your car with the Tanabe or any lowering springs, keep the perch circlips in the stock location so that you get the correct lowering that your springs were meant for. The two bottom grooves are so that you can lower the car somewhat using the stock springs or so you can get a little bit of extra lowering if your springs were designed for only a minor drop. The two upper grooves will allow you to raise your car back up some if you feel the springs that you have lower it to far. If you bought "slammer boy super dumper springs" and now realize they go to far, you can gain back some of the lost height but you need to be sure that you don't go into coil bind.

91SiKen was correct that the 20 mm shorter max length only was designed so your lowering sprigns will still maintain preload when the car wheels are off the ground. Once the car is on the ground, there is no functional length difference between these and standard Koni Sports.

 

Thanks guys that clears some stuff up

Actually do i need to do something with the bump stops? ive heard rumors about having to modify stuff to fit them stuff as more then just the bumnpstops im having them installed tommorow hopefully unless there some other requsities for the install that i dont know of

Koni instructions say to cut 25mm (approx 1") off the bottom of the bump stops.
