Koni SA owners inside

I just got a set and am looking for specific adjustment settings. I want it to be firmer than stock in the front to keep the axle off the bumpstops. I want the rear to be a little slower on the rebound. I want a setting that will be good for daily driving and help transfer power to the rear wheel. If anybody knows specific adjustments that will do this, I would like to hear it. The guy who is installing them hasn't worked with these specific shocks much and doesn't know what setting I'm looking for. I don't have many tools or a place to work on my car right now, so I would like to be able to call him with the adjustment info. It will be difficult for me to find time and a place anytime soon to readjust them. I'll be busy working and moving for the next few weeks. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sam strano should be able to help you

I believe that he was recomending 2/3 from soft up front and fully soft to 1/3 in back

but that all changes with your specific combo

I'm tryin to set my DA's now, its a job

Heres what sam told me (if i remember correctly). Set the fronts to full hard then 4 turns towards soft. Set the rears to full soft then 45 degres towards hard.

Actually I have heard that alot. Tried it, but the car is bouncy on regular ride. Just kind of hoppy-gives you that sea sick feeling. If that setting is best for putting the rear wheels to the ground, so be it. I just think it's a little bouncy for daily driving.

ps Where y'at Srano?
