What setting on the yellow koni's? What position for front strut spring purch? I just got the koni sport springs set, and the Vogland lowering springs, and was wondering what position should I have the front spring purch on the strut? There is 2 options, one will mount the spring lower on the srut, so it will lower the car, but again, I am installing lowering springs. And what setting should I set the shocks/struts to? Its a daily driver, so is the middle good?
Any help would be great!!!

Brian,
Since it's a DD, you probably want to set the spring perch to the upper location because if you set it on the lower position, you will have some rake to the car because those springs you bought were designed to work with a stock spring perch height.
Do you know the spring rate of the new springs? The rate will dictate how much rebound damping you need.

Thanks for the info! I don't know what the rate of the springs are, Like I said, they are the Vogland 1.2" lowering springs. I belive they are similar to the ones sold by Strano? I guess they both are made in Germany of the same light weight alloy.

Sorry to inform you that the rates and heights are NOTHING a like. The fact Vogtland makes mine for me, and we use the same material is like saying that every GM car with an aluminum engine block is the same..... they aren't close to the same--at all.
