Help with my new Koni/Strano set up.
I bought the Koni yellow's/spring combo. My car is a 2002 WS6. I will be using it for autocross and weekend drives. I drag race sometimes but Sam already told me that that may suffer a bit. Anyway. 426rwhp, will be using stock 275/40/17 at 30 psi during autocross. The tires are 25.7 inches tall. Heres the kicker... I have 255/40/18 and 295/35/18 on there for looks and most of my daily drive. I will likely get the car aligned with these 25.94 inch tires in the back and 25.28 tires in front.
I need to know what to tell the alignment shop.
Also, I'm not sure how to set these shocks or what to set them on. I'm taking off my tokicos, so I assume the rear adjust similarly. I'm also not sure how they are set up from the factory. I have LCA's and adj. panhard from umi.(well that still hasn't made it).
So please tell me what to set them on and how to set them. Strano is a great guy to talk to when you catch him, However, my work schedule conflicts with his business hours.

So where are they set when fresh out of the box? Also which perch should I use. I've read there are two postitions. I'm thinking I should use the higher perch given the springs are already much shorter.

What are the stock alignment specs? What should the specs be for a lowered car? Mods in sig.
I need to have mine aligned as well and I want to make sure it's done right the first time.

I thought that the 4/4 were double adjustable. From the looks of my shocks, I can adjust ther rears by turning the **** at the top only. Also on the fronts. There seems to be a place to put a pin in only. No second ****. My shocks are the one's that are on sale for about $822. Also, what are you guys using for pins on the front shock. It didn't come with one. I'm guessing tiny phillip head.>>>

I use an allen wrench to adjust the fronts
