Default Koni Yellows

What perches do you all have the konis on for you 99-00 civics. I am running ground controls with the yellows. But I am not sure if the yellows are all on the same perches. Looks like the front two are on diff ones and the rear two are on diff ones. What ones are good to use for the most adjustablity. I have lots of thread left both ways on one up front and one on the rear and liek no thread left on one on the front and one on the rear. I have searched. I love konis and ground controls but something is wrong. Also I think I was missing a bag with my konis. Do i just call koni and get a bag from them?

if you didn't touch the setting when they were first installed then you should be fine. although you may have bought them used then i dunno.

Are the shocks on different settings? you shouldn't have any difference in the amount of thread left between left and right sides

Well we took them apart and then put them back together and now everything looks better. I dotn get what went on. They are all on the bottom perch all the way around. When a shock is blown will it sit a little lower than the others?

Why did you put them on the bottom perch? They are supposed to be on the middle perch (some have 3 positions, some have 5).

The bottom perch on the rears will be too low because it is designed to be used with coilovers, the coilover sits inside the cup rather than on it so you need the bottom perch to get enough travel.

We were just trying things out. But the Konis in the front have 3 perches and the rear has 2 perches I beleve. So the fronts should be on the middle perch? and the rears should be on the top perch?
