Today i installed Both my Koni Yellows along with Tein STech Springs.
1st Thing i noticed that My Car suppose to go down 2.1F and 1.6R But it DIDNT!
I didnt adjust the Koni Yellows and put them as they came because i want to see how the ride is like that and than i will decide to Change the settings.
When i took my car for a ride, i saw a significant difference. Did Alot of twists and turns and the Handling is way more responsive than it was before. There was NO body roll which is Good.
Now, From all those twisties and turns and i did, i felt my tires are holding what my konis wants to do. Meaning, those slim and cheap tires (STOCK) doesnt let my Konis do what they want.

Question:
1) Why didnt my car get lowered, is it because they are new and will settle soon?

I Soo Wanted to Post pictures but since my Car didnt Drop, i didnt feel like posting any pictures

you def still have a good amount of body roll

Not as much as i had before, i even twist my car hard on the highway on 40 to 60mph and havent felt that much bodyroll like i had before.

set the koni's on the lower perch...that will drop you.

lostkhan

What do you mean by Lower Perch??

fsttyms1

The part the spring sits on.

I have the koni sport also w/tanabe nf210 springs.Make shure you get rear camber kits if you drop it on the lower perch.I learned the hard way did not have camber kits, ruined my rear tires after 50 miles.I think your springs also will settle a bit after a while.Get sway bars and you really will feel a difference.

fsttyms1

Did you have an alignment done after the drop? I find it very hard to believe you could have had enough camber to ruin tires after 50 miles. Now toe is another thing

lostkhan

Tell me where can i get the Camber Kit from and ill go buy them tonight before even doing the lower Perch

lostkhan

Should i get Both Rear and Front Camber Kits?

phipark

why not wait for the springs to settle before you start messing with the perch?

lostkhan

HmmM.. i was thinking the same thing, i should wait about 3 to 4 days rite?

fsttyms1

Like every other thread, Wait till the springs settle then have an alignment done. If you are out side of the Normal range buy the kit thats needed.

when i had my H&R sport drop on stock shocks i was dropped the normal 1.75/1.5, when i had my koni's put on a year later (on the lower perch) on my h&r's, i got dropped another inch or so. I have 1/2 to no finger gap all around.

3rd Day on KONI YELLOWS:

Ok today i tries FULL STIFF, The car is bouncy on every up and downs on the road. I Feel like throwing now lol. But there wasnt a Significant Change in the Handling than what i had before which was the Original Setting which KONIS came with Just the car is more jumpy. So Than i tries FULL STIFF in the Back and 2 Turns To the Soft Side FRONTS, There are still more jumps in the back i feel and the car is just not that stable.
So the Final settings i got to were 2 TURNS FRONT and TWO TURN REAR (from Firm to soft). This is the best settings i found on the local roads of NewYork.

ill be Posting More Review after when ill put the Konis on Lower Perch!

hey I have the same set up and am expieriencing hard road abosption in the front. I have the front and back set to full soft setting. Should I make the front stiff, because that is where the problem mostly is.
