Default BTW Took mine out in the North Ala mountains Sunday afternoon. Defcon 2 is a noticable improvement.

The turn in is more crisp. Might notice a tiny bit more NVH but nothing objectionable. I did Koni Sports at the same time and contrary to many reports here, my 75000 mile OEM shocks were still pretty good. There is a difference--a bit more firm---- but I imagine the Konis are firmer than the OEMs were new.
Regardless I was able to hide from my friend in his C6 Vette in the twisties. (no offence Schwing)

Congrats Mike. Recently performed an evasive maneuver at speed and was reminded how good these are!

Default How firm did you set your Koni's?

My rears are on full firm and fronts just shy of full soft. Mine feel exponentially firmer than my OEM shocks/struts did.

Default To start, I left them as delivered. I believe that Pure Motorsports sets them to ---

Front ---full soft
Rear -----1/2 way to firm

They feel really good, but not "exponentially" firmer :-)

Besides--- I've heard reports that too firm shocks can blow turbos ;-)

Hope you do get your roadster back in time for Your big get together.

Wish I could come over and put faces with all you guys IDs. Charleston is a nice town. Had Sunday brunch at Magnolia recently. Very memorable. Southern Hospitality and charm at it's best. Have stayed at Harbour View Inn a couple of times. Wine and cheese in the afternoon----- Cookies and milk in the evening. View of waterfront----- One of our favorite places.
