Rear Koni Sa Shocks w/ stock WS6 springs and 9" Setup? So I recently put a new 9" inch my car with grizzly locker, 4.11 gears, 35 spline axels, spohn chromoly pro torque arm, spohn chromoly rear lower control arms, and strange DS. That being said when my car was being worked on it was brought to my attention that the rear shocks are blown.... so I went out and purchased a set of Koni sport SA shocks for the rear. Now that being said with my setup what do you suggest on configuring these shocks? 1 full turn from full soft or 1/2 turn from full soft then 1/4 on till I get the sweet spot? What are you guys with 9" and stock WS6 Springs running?
Your help as always is greatly appreciated!

I had bad wheel hop till I went with DA shocks in the back. I'm running a 9" 35 spline detroit locker with a Moser bolt through aluminum center. I started with brand new Koni SA's in the rear and the hop didnt improve even though I went from an iron case to aluminum and added LCA relocators and put the UMI LCA's in the bottom hole. Car wasnt lowered either. I tried every rebound setting from full - to full + and still had wheel hop. Bought new koni DA's for the rear and set the compression to + 8 clicks and the rebound to + 4 clicks and no more wheel hop. Every situation seems to be a bit different though and maybe you'll get by with SA's I'd start at +4 from full soft on the rebound.

sam strano told me to start at full soft and adjust one setting at a time until it feels right. He said the best setting would more than likely be full soft or +1 from fuu soft.

Yea, this is better then just starting off at +4. +4 is what I wound up with after doing this very thing. By +4 I mean adjust to full soft and from there, go + 4 clicks toward firm. Each click would be 1 bump on the adjustment ****. They have 8 bumps on the koni adjustment ****. 4 to firm would be 1/2 turn towards firm starting from backed off all the way to soft.
