Default what to adjust koni 4/3 to for cruising???

I just got my Koni 4/3 today. I was wondering what to set the fronts and rears for just cruising?? I dont do alot of drag racing. I figured out how to adjust the fronts but im still kind of confused on th rears. Thanks for all the help I can get.

Stock springs?

For the most part you tend to see ppl adjust the fronts to about half. turn the adjustment window all the way to full hard, then pull it back about 4 sweeps from full hard.
Rears, leave them on full soft...

These adjustments can vary slightly from spring choice

Are the rear shocks on the Koni 4/3 even adjustable?

Yea internally adjusted, meaning they have to be pulled off the car, pull the "dust cover" down and there is a button you push down and the spin the rod, there will be 3 clicks to choose from

Looks like this except the body is yellow instead of red:

What are your fronts set at? What is your tire pressure at?

I don't remember but I *think* the fronts have 9 total sweeps. Go all the way to full hard, then back down 4 sweeps. You should like that setting, it seems thats the norm, I have it on my car and love it.

This is what mine are set at. You can search "koni settings", Im pretty sure most are running this.
