Koni 3/4's - How to...
 
Just got my new Koni 3/4 shocks and I must say, real nice pieces to look at. Too bad their tucked up in the wheel well hidden :D

My question to you guys is, which setting would be ideal for street performance but good handling? I've searched the forums and most of the time I see "5 turns blah blah". I'm new to the adjustment shock area so just wanted to see if I could get more insight on what to do. I don't mind the ride being harsh at all. Currently I have Sportlines with blown stock DeCarbon shocks. You can just imagine what that's like. Now that I have these, I want wicked sick handling. I matched them up with a set of Strano springs as well.

Dude, your avatar is freaking hilarious...

Your other questions, call Strano, if that's where you bought them.

Go to http://www.koniracing.com/autocrosstune.cfm and http://www.koniracing.com/rrtuningguide.cfm , there's some good tuning info there.
FYI, focus on Adjusting the Rebound Damping Control since that's all you can adjust.
IMO, start at full soft F&R and work up from there to find what works best for you.

lol thanks. I thought it was awesome when I first saw it. Been using it for years.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to email Strano along with bookmark these links.

I like the rears pretty soft......just try some different settings and back the front off 3-5 whatever "Feels" the best. Thats why you can adjust them :)

I started with "2 sweeps" in the front, and "1 click" on the rear. Since I haven't had a lot of spare time, or ambition to crawl under the car, either, I've left the rears at that adjustment, however, I think I'll switch them back to "full soft"" one of these days....
