The one with 5 perches is the Koni SP3 shock.
The more common one and the one smitty has is the Koni Sport shock. This is what i have as well and i always thought they had 2 perches.

For example, on my VW, I have Neuspeed/Bilstein Shocks, having adjustable perches where the normal Bilstein Sport Shocks do not.
About your perches, I
either.

only the neuspeed ones have more than 2 perches. you have the same ones i used to have.
make sure you run them on the lower perch.
btw, isn't it neat to know the whole weight of the car rests on that little clip.

i was joking about using the lower perch, unless you want your car to sit really low.
you should be good to go w/ them the way they are.

Run them on the highest perch. The Eibach pro kit is one of the lowest drops you can get.

i have mine set on the highest perch and its still slammed (neuspeed-konis on H&Rrace) it is crazy how the clip supports all the weight, i ran over a open man-whole cover driving through miami and it stayed right in place....crazy

Not really.
The softest setting is pretty close to the stock Type S ride.

I apologize for the stupid ass question but suspension is new to me. The spring and shocks on my cls were there when I got the car and I have no prior info. I know I have red eibach springs and yellow konis. The car sits extremely low in the front causing me to have to use 225/35/18 tires. If I am reading this correctly I can actually adjust the height of the ride from the Koni "perches"? I want to put on tires that are cheaper with more side was for comfort. Thanks for any advise. I thought only the stiffness was adj.
