just got my konis fitted and wodered what hardness settings people were using for the road.
i.e is full hard too hard for road only use?

 

i got mine on full hard m8 all round but need to as my zorst scraps along the floor if i dont lol handles ok though


DAN

 

depends on your spring rates mine is set to full soft.
trial and error, see what you like.

 

cool will head out for a spin the now.
any more thoughts folks?

and then it's trial and error until you find something YOU are happy with.

 

Euan I know that thay can split the inner wings if they are set too hard and a strutbrace is also fitted. it happened on my saff and I was told it was common on 3 doors

But as said above it does depend on your spring rates

 

differnet car i know

but

On my RST, koni's set of softest setting, which is still hard combined with Ahmed Bayjoo springs Works best for me

 

not sure what springs i got actually. they are either eibach or h+r.
both are quality manufacturers.
will just set it half way and go from there.
any setting has got to be better than the standard shocks!

 

Yeah means you can give me a shot on Sunday now

Forgot to say, Andy's track saff is set at full stiffness and handles really well but thats only ever used on track and not on the road.

 

we will see dave!
thought the car would sit higher but seems to be the same
looks like my exhaust will contine to rub!

 

Cant wait, get yourself some new back tyres

Speak to my mate Andy on Sunday nite as he used bushes from something else on his exhaust to make it sit higher

 

cool.
will see you on sunday man!

 

i used to run mine on my XR4x4 at full soft and they were still a LOT stiffer than standard.

ive heard youre suposed to set em full soft then stiffen them up over the years as they wear. if you set em to full hard theyllwear a lot quicker.

dunno if thats pub talk biullshit or not tho

 

No one read the link I posted then

 

Ive also heard they can wear out quicker the harder the seting, i would agree with that.

 

Jim, IIRC the original Koni adjustable was designed to compensate for wear, I guess someone saw the potential of that idea for their current marketing ......
