    How stiff should I adjust the Koni's?

    Excactly. My springs are probably just a little stiffer than stock. I dont now the spring rates of them though, because they were actually ment for the stock struts so I didnt care so much, they just had to be a little soft. Anyone with some good advice?

    I think Jim had said a while back that it'd be best to do one turn on them. I kinda wish I'd done 1.5 in back though. Try it out!

    Thanks. I'll try with something around those numbers. It would be a bitch having to take them off again once theyre installed

    the actual adjustment depends on which spring I would guess, I just know that I read somewhere that koni says do not do full stiff.

    With my H&R springs, I did one turn on the front (the rears are Tokico )

    Seems to work good for me.

    lol maybe i should have done one full turn also. i have my konis at full turns all around on sprint 2.25" springs. very stiff ride indeed. it's like driving a race car. lol. they easily overpower the weight of the car. and i have a sedan, so that says alot. i advice maybe going no more than one turn if you have a hatch. anyways, one of these days i'll turn them softer a bit. just a pain they didnt build these things to be externally adjustable. but for now i'm used to the stiff ride since i'm rolling on 18's.
