Does anyone know how to change the perch settings?

I thought there was just a knob with 5 settings. I believe to adjust the rears you have to take the back seats out, but not for the fronts. There may be a key for them. Check the koni website.

Not sure about the Yellow's but on the Illuminas there is a knob on the top of each strut you can adjust with a flat head screwdriver.

The perch settings are different than the dampening adjustment. You need a big set of snap ring pliers or get crafty with a screw driver. you need to expand it just enough to get it out of the grove then slide it up or down to the other spot. MAKE SURE you have the springs (front especially) compressed enough to take the load off of it before trying.

I checked the Koni website and they don't mention the perches anywhere- all I know is that you can jack up the car to relieve the force from the coils, and then adjust some type of clamp. Very vague DIY instructions on most forums!!!!!!

When say 'it' what are you referring to?

He's correct. There are three different grooves (levels/heights)) on the strut body to choose from where a snap ring fits upon which the perch for the springs rest.
