Koni shocks Setting
I'm getting a set of koni shocks that have ride adjustment. My car came with starndard suspension but I already have Eibach Springs.
I want to have a sportier ride but still have some confort. Whats the best setting for my new shocks?
When i Installed the eibach springs the rear of the car looks higher than the front, i was told that i needed to remove a rubber part from the shock, If this also true with the new shocks?
Thanks

Re: Any Thoughts???
Just wondering what the ride is like with the springs only? I am due to collect my H&R springs only on Friday. Should I wait and order a set of adjustables shocks as well? My car has the standard set up as well.
Just to try and answer one of your questions I was talking to a guy who races cars and is always playing around with his suspension set ups. He recommends the best way to get an idea for your set up is take off the original shock, hang it up side down, add a weight to the end and time how long it takes the shock to extend to its maximum. Then do exactly the same to the new shock using the same weight, keep adjusting it until it extends in the same time as the original. This is one way you can calibrate the shocks without expensive equipement. You can then take it that your set up is the same on all shocks and now you can start to adjust them hard. He said it will take a few attempts before you will get your perfect set up....Well so he tells me :-)
