Want good ride with Koni Yellows, help with settings?

Did a search but couldn't find the info I was looking for.

I got Koni Yellows but not on yet, also got Neuspeed sport springs, I would like to have a comfortable ride rather then being able to do super turns. What settings should I tell the mechanic?

just set them pretty soft, Koni Yellows are only adjustible in Bump (Compression). the rebound settings are set by Koni, and they are stiffer then stock.

I believe Koni recomends that you dont adjust them to full hard or soft, so 1 or 2 clicks from full soft would give you the softest ride, for a little performance, have the rears set a bit harder then the front, to help with weight transfer (you'll have a little less understeer on corner entry as well as corner exit). to finding the best handling setting would take some testing, but you said you dont really car about that.

Hey thanks, ok i'll remember that, I prefer a comfortable ride but also take some hard turns occasionally so the advice for the back is good, thanks again

i have koni's with neuspeed race and have it at the softest setting, like not completely soft but like 1 click away, im gonna try driving on 1 click away from the firmest setting and see if i notice a big increase

have any of you with koni's noticed a lot of road noise when going on small bumps?

thats only going to increas the harshness of the ride. that is if you increace all of the shocks to full hard. how you can use the shocks to affect handling is by having one side stronger or weaker then the other (Front to back). usually for FWD cars you'd have the back set Firmer then the front (It helps with weight transfer on corner entry and exit). but you'll have to do some testing and tuning to get the right settings down.
