My current setup is CT Springs and Sways and I am about to put Yellow Koni’s on. I am leaning toward softest setting to smooth out the ride.

I don’t want to be too soft and give up tight handling and I don’t want to be so tight that I feel every bump.

Where have you guys settled (dampers) for every day commuting?

I wish I could help you. I have Koni yellows but I have no idea how to change the damper setting using numbers for the various settings as you have shown in your example. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

I have it set about 1/3 at all corners. I tried at 1/2 and thought it was too stiff for daily commute, and likewise set at like 1/4 and thought it could still be tightened up a tad.

I currently have mine cranked down to the firmest settings all around. It'll get old pretty soon though...

So 1/3 sounds like a happy medium. I was thinking about ½ during the install, but may knock it down a bit (to 1/3) seeing your notes. I know these are adjustable but I don’t want to mess around with the back seats all that often.

If you have the Yellow Koni Sport, you should see this. Just turn the knob. There are no numbers, i was just using numbers to get an idea how far you guys are turning the knob.

Is there a difference between Koni Yellow and Koni Yellow Sport? Are they the same thing?


I found Koni Yellow on a website, and I'm wondering if it has that damper setting knob.

With my stock rims on = Softest

With my 19's on = Half (0.5)

Not sure but the series for the CL is the Sport. This is right off their catalog page and it's for the CL (01-03)


3.2 CL, Adj. spring perch can lower car approx. F & R=20mm 01-03 8041-1257 Sport (Front) 8041-1258 Sport (Rear)

They say that one picture is worth a thousand words, and now that you have posted a pic, I have a clearer idea of what you were inquiring. I have the H & R sport springs with a 1.75" drop in the front and 1.50" drop in the rear with Comptech sway bars installed. I have a full turn all round on the Koni's and do not find that setup to be at all uncomfortable on the highway. As a matter of fact I plan to increase the rear damping one half turn for an even stiffer ride.

why are the Koni Yellows nearly twice as much as the Tokico Illuminas? I am about to get a new shock/spring setup and I was leaning toward the Tein H Tech springs and Illumina shocks. I would almost rather have a slight raked look because of my system. I really hate it when the back is lower than the front
