koni Yellows ans s techs= need help!!!!

hey guys, i successfuly installed koni yellows and tein s techs about a month ago. But there is a slight problem. I set them all at soft and it seems that when I hit bumps the front really hits back hard. Everything is where it is supposed to be and I was wondering if I should set the front to stiff to resolve this problem. The front feel like it is sofy, maybe resullting in the hard hit back on dips and bumps?????? Thanks so much guys... help the birthday boy out!!!!

it sounds like the front is on the stiffest/firmest setting. is the front very bouncy on small bumps?

somewhat, I am not to familiar with the settings, but will follow up with instructions and remove the strutbar and adjust. turn the knob to the left or right for softer setting?

yeah, the front strut bar has to be removed first. then use the knob and turn clockwise til it stops to reach the softest setting or counter clockwise to reach the stiffest setting. adjust and test drive until it reaches your liking.

what's the firmness setting on the rear shocks?

you mean the front?

anyway, fortunately, the front is a lot easier to get to than the rear.

keep us posted.
