Tightening Koni yellows?????
I had the ProKit and Konis inastalled together and started out with the Konis set to full soft. The car rode great, with all the bounce taken out, expeciallly at the rear. I finally ended up with the fronts set a half turn toward firm and the rears on full soft, since I don't have any extra weight in the trunk. For most driving that is a good setup. Keeps the front end from dving and rides nice on the highway.
One day I put both front and rear to full firm settings, all the way. The ride was real stiff, but for smooth mountain roads the car handled like it was on rails. No body lean hardly at all. I guess that would be the setting for "racing".
I haven't tried any other springs, etc, but I am very happy with the ride and handling with the ProKit. The car , with the OEM body kit, gets lots of looks from people in more radical cars, and the 1" lowering is noticeable, but not a problem on speed bumps, etc. I like it a lot.
On edit:
If I were going to drive with a front seat passenger a lot, I'd turn the front shocks another half turn toward firm. With these little cars, the extra weight of a passenger makes a difference, especially on tight turns.
