Default Neuspeed-Koni Yellow questions

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.

Going to a lower perch will lower the car, but you will loose suspension travel. Raising the perch should raise the car, but not necessarily. Ideally it would raise or drop it by an inch, but that likely wont happen. It really depends on the springs and how progressive they are and how much travel the shocks have. I cant really give you a better answer than that.

A 20mm shorter rod will only give you less shock travel at full extension. Practically speaking, really nothing at all.

Yes. Since the middle (of five) perches is closer to the bottom mount of the shock than OEM equipment, your car will be slightly lower than stock height. How much? I dont know. Educated guess= ~0.5"

FYI if it matters to you moving the perch DOES void the warranty on these shocks. Just thought I would share since many dont seem to reliase this.
