For those with on car adjustable Koni's (F4 setup)... do you adjust much after initial drive testing?

I'm trying to see if this is a "nice to have" like for autocross. Is it worth it for a weekend driver? I like an aggressive tight ride, but I can't imagine I would adjust them much after the initial tuning to my likes.

^ I'm wondering the same, kind of, for the F3 rears. Thinking of setting them a hair stiff. Wondering what a good setting will be.

Was also wondering the difference between the F3 and F4. My car is just a weekend/highway/mountain road warrier.

I got the off car and just initially set them to settings that were suggested to me by guys on here and someone at BMR. For a street car/weekend warrior Im satisfied with it. If I got the on car adjustable, I probably would of never played around with it much seeing as I dont race and the difference over stock was enough to keep me satisfied.

Hey guys, thanks for the interest in our special deal, and hopefully we continue to be an excellent manufacturer to deal with.

Anyway, this sale pricing will only be available directly through BMR. So that means you must order over the phone, email, PM, or our website.

Phone: 813-986-9302 and ask for me - Kevin

As far as settings go, our typical customer will use our suggested settings and never touch them. If you're just looking to dramatically improve the ride and handling of your car and not mess with anything, go with the Koni F4/F3 package. If you would like to make adjustments down the road, save yourself the hassle of removing the shocks to adjust, and get the F4/F4. They're a very similar shocks and offer around the same performance. So the only difference would be how much that little exta is worth to you.

Our settings are what we came up with working with the STi Killer that we feel offer the best balance for these cars. Tire choice, sway bars, weight, and many other variables come into play but, overall, our suggested starting point will be all 90% of drivers will need/want.

- Kevin

You shouldn't have any issues. Our springs will only lower your car 1.25 inches, so you should be able to get a pretty good idea of where your tires will fit on your car currently. We normally won't have problems reported back to us, but your offset must be well-chosen. As stated, if you do have an issue, you can roll your fenders. Unless you're running an 11 in the rear, inner clearances shouldn't be a problem either.

My wife is going to divorce my *** when she finds out how much I've spent this winter on my car.

...That being said, bring on the Koni/BMR sale!

That's hilarious! I was just thinking I need a PO box to get parts delivered so my wife won't see them... Is that wrong?

I had to have my clutch, suspension, and mgw shifter sent to my work! My wife doesn't know much about cars, but she does know that when I order parts, it gets expensive. She would've blown a gasket if she saw all of this stuff in person.

Not sure how I'm going to order these Koni/BMR, but this is definitely too good of a deal to pass up.

Any chance you guys would sell just the discounted Konis without the springs? I may want to try running stock springs on new shocks before I put on lowering springs. Konis allow me to drop the front (lower perch) and rear (heater hose).

In all seriousness, if I were to order on March 1st - how soon would these ship out? I realize that these sold like hot cakes last year and I'd just like to get an idea as to how soon they would be in my possession ready to install!

Buellxb... You are basically getting the springs free with this deal... And still a discount on the Konis. Look at koni prices alone anywhere. So you could sell the springs later to get more cash back. Just saying...

Understood, but if the springs could be removed from the equation upfront to save on some costs and hassle of trying to sell down the road, why not? Doesn't hurt to ask.
