R KONI yellows Height Adjustable?

hi all, i understand Koni yellows are damper adjustable but are they also height adjustable? I m fitting them into my 03 civic EX with eibach prokit so would be ground if height adjustable to minimise toe in/out problem.

please advice n thanks

They are not, they are just dampers. are you going from stock to the eibach springs, or do you allready have the eibachs in?

The rear perch is the only thing that you can adjust for height, it has a stock setting or a bout an inch higher setting. If you plan on carrying a heavy load or towing(yeah right) then you might want to use the higher setting. Also with the Prokit, your not going to really have to do anything as it usually keeps the suspension alignment in spec.

hi, yes I have initially switched from stock springs to eibach. now riding on eibach prokits with stock shocks n not too happy with the ride. sometimes it felt like bouncing in air. funny thing was inital 1st week with change to eibach, the stock shocks react well, stiffness is there, bumpy is there but not bouncy.

so i m planning to switch from stock to KONIs after hearing n reading much good things about them. any comment/advice?

hi, do you have pro kits also? what do you think the toe angle will be after Konis installed?

Hi, no I dont have the Prokit, I have Eibach Sportlines with Konis. When you install Konis or just about any other strut/shock it shouldnt affect the toe angle. Dont worry about toe, be more concerned about the camber setting. When you have a really low drop then toe can become an issue.

However, even with the Prokit and Konis, you shouldnt have to buy anything else and your alignment will still be within stock specifications. The most you'll need with the Prokit is a rear camber kit only.
