I have been running H&R sport springs on my '08 TL Type-s 6MT for the past year and the OEM shocks are on their way out the door. Just ordered a set of Koni Sports (aka Koni Yellows) and I was wondering what settings/perch levels would give me the best compromise between spirited driving and comfort on my daily driver.

Please list what settings and perch levels you are using on your H&R sport + Koni Yellow setup and why you chose those settings. It would also be nice if you stated why you hate/love it and how it feels on your daily drives.

Here is what I have in mind:
Front shocks on lowest perch. Dampening 1 turn from soft.

Rear shocks on middle perch. Dampening half a turn from soft.

Input appreciated!

Suspension gurus welcome to chime in! H&R sports lower the car ~1.4" all around FYI.

I think this just depends on how low you'd like your car. The Yellows will let you go an additional ~0.78"(20mm) lower than your current 1.4" up front and 0.78" up or down from where you sit in the rear, so your whole car can sit a little over 2" lower all around if you'd like. Since you're sitting lower, you'll deteriorate suspension travel and bottom out the suspension more than if you left it on stock perches (top perch in front/middle perch in rear). The ride probably wouldn't be much different unless you're hitting large bumps that compress your car down towards the bump stops. Since Koni Yellows are much firmer than OEM shocks, it'll probably ride better than your OEM shocks and H&R shocks even on the lower perch no matter what. Koni shocks don't have a magic height where they perform best unless you take them to the upper and lower limits where you risk exerting them too far and ruining them.
