Question Koni 4/3 Settings?

Well after a little over 4 months my Koni's finally shipped out today. I plan on tackling the install next week and wanted some feedback on settings for the shocks. Car is a full bolt-ons soon to be H/C/I that is 100% street driven. Sprited driving on back road twisties around the city and highway driving. Roads up here in the North East arent great. They fix one and 30 more need repaving. I will encounter a **** load of pot holes and beat up roads. Suggestions and personal experiences would help!

I put my 4/4s on full soft in the rears and four sweeps from full soft in the front. Feels great for a daily driver. Firm but not too harsh on my bmr springs. Might try 1 turn from full soft in the rears if I get around to it.

^Cool good to know. I should add that the car isnt a daily and coming up on 3 years of owning it I havent driven it more than 3,000 miles in any given year.

I have my 4/3's as 4 sweeps from soft in the front (so middle setting in other words) and the rears full soft. I think I might back the fronts down a sweep or two towards soft.

We normal like to run the fron Koni shock 4-5 sweeps from full soft and the rears I click from full soft. These settings will retain good performance and still keep a good ride quality.

I did the 4 sweeps form soft in the front, and then all soft in rear. I will probably try stiffening the rear when I stop being lazy.

My settings are 5 sweeps from full soft in front and 1 click from full soft in rear. Car gets driven about 1500 miles per year and roads are pretty good where I live. I'm thinking that I might go another click stiffer in front. You'll love these shocks w/your springs.
