I've just bought a new Koni damper kit for my 2wd Sapphire Cosworth and want to know what settings people use for both the front and rear dampers for fast road use?...

I've been recommended to have the fronts on hardest and rears on medium settings but have recently heard the opposite way round too!!!!

 

mine are currently set medium medium but its not great, would be interested in what others have as well

 

i had mine set to hard all around as used to kill my zorst every time i hit full boost

 

I had a new set of spax on my 2wd, bought them 4 months ago. Had the rears on hard, fronts on medium, but after racing an m3 and beating it, the front tyres met the arches, so adjusted them up so they were 75% hard, and the rears on 100% hard, back doesnt move at all, and helps when you want to kick the arse end out


am changing to koni's tomorrow, gonna swap em over, as the car sits high at the front on spax,

ill probly go the same, hard on the back and medium to hard on the front. that way the back wont squat too much, and atleast i can have some sort of control over where the front end goes.

 

Rear is on medium and that's fine,front is also medium but gonna change it to hard

 

i set my avos medium on front and slightly harder on the rear

feels braw to me

 

Thanks for the replies guys!

Yeah it sounds like the rears on medium is the way to go... although i don't want it to squat too much!!!

 

The adjustment of the Konis is just on rebound, so that doesn,t affect compression on hard acceleration anyway ! You need a 2-way adjustable damper to be able to adjust compression.

 

i thought unless the rears were set to hard to konis had a habit of bursting under squat..... woodford have LOADS back under warranty because of this,

 

aint ever changed mine does it make much difference?

 

yes

 

My m8s 4x4 saph is a bitch with it set up quite hard i drove it hard aswell as he's not use to a cossie and wanted me to see how it was and i can say i thought it was to hard i have had it kick out and then bite back twise That was under Braking going into a 90 degre bends

Am i right in thinking its set to hard ???????

My saph is a 2wd and the Konis on the rear are bolloxs

 

I am running koni's on mine and really not impressed, mates car with bilsteins[spl] is really nice so will probably swap to them.

 

Freind of mine has just had steve scott put new suspension on his and he has put konis on front and bilistien on back as he says that konis on the rear are not the best also dont set the back to hard as it will mak it a pain in the arse to drive in the wet

 

HARD ALL ROUND

 

Anyone got a set of konis for sale for a 2wd saph at sensibly money please
