A few more questions here.

1. At the softest setting does it duplicate stock, is is softer than stock, or firmer than stock?

2. Regarding adjustability...Fatfri you mentioned getting the interior all back in. Is it difficult to adjust on the fly? What do I have to constantly remove to get at the adjustment knob.

Thanks again

i have upgraded both my front and back sway bars so they are way stiffer. this means that when i put it on all the way soft it puts too much stress on the sway bars. this causes the car to wobble coming out of a turn. If you have stock sway bars all the way soft might be ok.

you have to take the back seats out and also the rear shelf to adjust the back. you can not do it on the fly. for the front you have to take out the strut brace. the adjustment is made on the top of the shock.

you have to be seatless for a while in the back until you have tested and got a setting you like. make sure u test both street and highway for stability and handling

please do not post any more unless it is about firmness settings or comments about them. feel free to PM any questions

i went from '06 6mt suspension to koni yellow+aspec spring setup.
I have just recently tightened up both front and rear.


the fun didnt start until I stiffened them.
meaning, it did feel quite stock-ish with them on soft.

Does anyone know if koni have transferable warranty?

My driver side is leaking and the set has 7k when i bought it (according to owner) they looked minty though

I've driven about 15k with them so they should still be at the beginning of their life span. Although they were made for the accord so the rebound and rates may not be proper for the TL

Either way, would I have down time if i were to take the shock off and replace send it in if Koni even allows it? this is frustrating... Or can I roll on these till they all leak and change it

I have my koni's yellows paired with some H&R Race springs.
Springs are on the lowest perch.
Fronts are 2 full turns.
Rears are 1/2 turn.
Ride kicks ass!
