Koni Yellows are supposed to have spring perch adjustability, correct? I've read some have three perch settings, and others have 5. When I went to install my set on a 6th gen accord, I only saw 2 grooves, and the spring perch could only be set on the top groove. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

This sort of true, but every application is different. The Koni shocks for 92-95 Civics has 2 settings up front, and 3 in the rear. It just depends on your specific year/make/model.

If you have only two settings on your shocks, the top one is "normal", and the bottom one is "lowered". Don't use the 'lowered" position in combination with any type of lowering-spring. They were only designed with stock spring rates/lengths in mind...

The Koni shocks with 5 grooves, are sold by Neuspeed and have 2 extra grooves cut between the lowered, normal & raised grooves that Koni provides from the factory. You don't really need them anyways...

If you don't me asking, why could you only put your spring perchs on the top setting? You do know you can move that C-ring thats sitting in the upper groove to the lowered groove with a flathead screwdriver right? Be VERY careful not to bend the c-ring while moving it...

 

After taking everything apart again today, I noticed the c-rings. I'm a dumbass, I know. I figured it had something to do with the application, I just wanted to make sure I didn't get refurbed reds or something (i'm a little paranoid sometimes).
So you're saying, 94eg, I shouldn't lower the spring perch? I have Neuspeed Sport springs and I was hoping to take advantage of the perches and lessen a little of the gap up front. Will lowering the perch put too much stress on the springs, you think? I appreciate the help, by the way. Thanks.

It won't put any more stess on the springs. The springs already carry the entire weight of the car, and will compress the same amount with the same weight, regarless of what height the lower perch is set to.

It will, however, be way too low for those spring rates. If you want to go really low, you have to go really stiff, and basic lowering springs provide neither.

Honestly, you have great shocks and (from what I hear) decent springs. Just put them on the car correctly, and enjoy the drive. If you're trying to force your suspension to a height purely for cosmetic purposes, then you should have purchased suspension equipment specifically for that purpose. What you have now is the opposite approach, which is a nice setup for a daily driver set at a reasonable height for the spring rates.
