koni yellow perch settings... affect ride height

Soon, I will add koni yellow shocks to my car. This will complete my suspension as I already have eibach pro springs (with stock shocks)

I know there are 3 perch settings for ride height. Can anyone help me to decide what is the best setting? From what I understand it's not something you can change yourself later on (assuming you cant install the shocks yourself) I am thinking the middle perch, but I am unsure. I don't think I want to lower the car any more than it is now.

Also, the ride damping knobs... are they easy to set yourself when the car is parked normally? I am thinking middle is the way to go here as well but not sure... I want a blend of luxury and sport... a setting to make the car confident but still softer on bumps then the virtualy undamped stock shocks.

I have OEM perch (upper for the front and middle for the rear) and it was good drop until i got the ingalls front ball joint..now the front look a little higher (more gap ) than before..the back is really low...i have a small sub in the back but it is really tucked in....half revolution from the softest is what i have on the comfortable settings...1 full turn was too harsh and softest was too bouncy...camber kit for the back is a MUST

Do I really need a camber kit? I was told with eibach springs it shouldn't be an issue. I guess I will find out once I try to get it aligned.

It really depends on your camber spec after the alignment. If your off by a lot, then you might need a camber kit.
