Default Koni question

I just finished my Strano and Koni 4/4 install and need a little help.

I'm looking for detailed info on which adjustments are for compression and rebound and how they influence performance. (I bought the koni's used) I've read really good threads before but can't for the life of me find them again. yes... I know how to search lol.

If anyone could hook me up with a link it would be greatly appreciated. Also any suggestions on good starting points for both drag race and cornering would be helpful.

Thanks!

Koni Tech Sheet. Page Six has instructions on adjustment.

Only Koni double adjustables adjust compression along with rebound. Single adjustables have a set compression and adjust rebound only.

Thanks guys! I do have the on car DA shocks. I bought them used and unfortunately one of the rear's rebound won't adjust.

I'm mostly looking for info on settings to help me launch at the track. I know to set the rears rebound to full soft (once I replace the on e bad shock) but that is all I have found so far.

You don't have to set the rear rebound full soft, in fact you might want some rear rebound. And nobody can tell you what compression setting will work best as every combination is different.
