Man, these are awesome. I got the full set of konis with progress camber kits all the way around, 17" wheels and seriously nice hankook z rated 405s ventus tires. The car handles like its on rails now. I went to the mall and literally could not squeel the tires doing donuts. Its unreal how much better these are than stock. 100% recommended for anyone looking for a top quality suspension upgrade.

tenzor 2" drop springs. I'm a little sketchy on the tuning, the mechanic who installed them seemed to think with the 17" rims and drop that I shoukld leave them firm as to not bottom out, any opinions on this?

Well since you are running on thinner rubber, the suspension would probably have to absorb some of the forces your thick stock rubber could that your current setup can't.

... the damper adjustments on Koinis does not adjust Bump valving... Meaning when you hit a bump and the suspension compresses, what valving adjustment you have set on the konis has no effect on how slow/quickly the suspension will react. Thats set by koni at the factory.

What you do adjust is rebound, wich is how the damper reacts when the suspension extends. This is why the adjustments on Konis has a whole lot more to do with handling balance then it does with ride quality.

so any way... Heres how to tune them for handling.

ok, 1st off set your dampers to full soft front and rear. Drive the car. See where its understeering or oversteering. If the car is understeering, increase the valving on the rear of the car, if its oversteering increase the valving on the front of the car. once your find the oversteer/understeer balance you want, you can then increase the valving both front and rear equally to increase the cars responsiveness.


See? Simple

Any way Heres my settings

Street Full soft front 1/2 turn up form full soft rear
Autocross/open track, Full soft front, 1/2 to 1/4 turn donw from full stiff rear, and then adjusted as the track needs.
