whoah, with megans you'd be dropping faaaar.. can't wait to see pics though, if you're having to drop the front tire sizes.

ima keep 275's in the rear and just go with 265s in the front

Just got my Konis today and had a quick question. For a daily driver that lives in an area with fairly nice roads, how stiff should I adjust them? I saw that someone said one turn from soft but he lived in an area with bad roads. I dont just want a comfortable ride, I would like some handling benefits as well. Oh, and these will be paired with Tein H-tech springs.

Agreed with THM - sorta. If you really want ride quality, go soft and adjust from there. Middle is quite stiff. I'm set one full turn from soft, so that's like 40% (2.5 full turns from soft to stiff I believe), and it's jarring on bad roads. Rode plenty well on the dragon though =p

I'd imagine a softer combo would be more livable on the streets. I don't know how the RSR springs are like, but a low pressure shock would have more drop with a softer spring, vs less drop with a stiffer spring.
As far as how your whole setup would look like, I personally wouldn't know lol.. maybe if someone else on the forum has a similar setup.. |

A couple of years ago I remember Shaikh from FCM posted the shock dyno for RX-8 Koni yellows, and it turned out that most of the adjustment range on Konis were in the very last turn closest to the full stiff. I tried full soft, and 30% stiff (3/4 turn from full soft) myself, I didn't notice any difference in daily-ride quality, nor in handling characteristic during autocross. I am currently at almost 80% stiff in the rear. Then again, I got these shocks over 2 years ago, so maybe the recent builds have more linear valving? I don't know. |
