I'm installing a set of Koni Yellows and wanted to know if the height is going to be lower with the Racing Beat springs than with the stock springs. This is important because I already scrape my driveway with the Racing Beat springs on the stock shocks and don't want any additional drop.

So which is lower:

Koni Yellow + stock spring

or

Koni Yellow + Racing Beat spring

Thanks!

 

SE-arch with sEa-Rch springs. best setup to date

 

Sorry, let me be more specific. I am not looking for the best setup.

I am trying to keep my car from scraping its exhaust off on my driveway after discovering the Koni Yellows resulted in a huge drop.

So I'm wondering which set of springs I currently have in the garage will scrape the least.

Aotther forum suggested there are multiple perches on the shocks. Don't recall seeing that on the shock though.

 

the koni yellows will drop about 1/2 inch compared to the stock shocks unless your stock ones are shot

 

Shocks/struts should make no difference in ride height. Springs should be the only part effecting the ride height. Racig Beat Advertises a modest drop with their springs. I believe most people say .5" drop but if your stock springs were worn out they could already be sagging .5"

 

 

Not true.

Knoi Yellows will make your car a little lower then OEM dampeners (shocks) when used in the same set up. About an extra 1/2 inch like 200.mph said.

 

Bump. Looking for more info because I'm in the same situation as the OP and am about to jump on some Koni yellows. Assuming I wanted to stay with OEM springs (ordering a new set) would I be getting worse handling than if I were to choose racing beat springs? How big of a deal are spring rates in this case? I have a VERY steep driveway at my off campus apartment, and already scrape my sideskirts on it if I don't go VERY slow, so I feel if I were to drop an inch, I'd be even worse off? I do go at angles, but this driveway is so ridiculous, that even my neighbors scrape. Maybe I should resort to ramps, as much as a PIA that would be...

 

Every set up will be a bit different so its hard to say how much but you count on a bit of a drop with just the yellows even on stock springs. If you are already scraping I would wait and get coil-overs so you can set up a proper height. You can get a decent height adjustable coil over system for not much more then a brand new set of koni yellows and RB springs.
