Koni Shock settings

Thirdtimeluck · 22-07-2006, 13:51

Good afternoon all

I was wandering what setting you guys put your adjustable front suspension on.
Mine is currently at its firmest setting but I was previously running it 1/2 a turn off firmest. I am still not quite sure which one works best for my car but I suppose it depends on the road surface more then anything.

What you you guys think? The firmer the better?

After driving lots of Japanese import cars with very firm suspension, I would argue that on British roads slighty softening it will make you faster across the majority of UK roads (at least round here in Hampshire) as bumps in the road surface won't throw the car off course/balance.

Pick a typical driving route taking in all sorts of routes and run the route with different suspension settings and see which one you prefer. You could always do a "blind" test and get a friend to make the adjustments and not tell you to rule outthe psychological element of which one you think should be better
