Adjustment help! Koni Yellow (Adjustable Shocks)

Supra Saiyan · 10-24-2010, 04:27 AM

I have 4 Koni Yellow adjustable shocks. They are a turn from soft to stiff. I need to know what will be the best all around setting for everyday driving (I drive mean, not nice.. DAILY), Also if I want to go do a drag on the track (Or at the light).

I have seen a trend of folks saying to stiffen up the back 2 180 turns (from soft) and the front 1 180 turn (from soft). I was thinking I would actually just setup front and back 2 or 3 turns from soft. Someone give me an edjucated reccomendation.

My understanding is that the reason for having the back stiffer is to help with load and weight transfer. Right? Anyhow.. Reccomendations please..

These are Koni Yellow Adjustable Shocks (8040 1064SPORT)

Keep in mind I live in Oregon, it rains here quite a bit. I don't want to spin out super easy..! So I am thinking I should set my front and back to 2, 2.5, or 3 turns to the full 5 turns of stiff... This way I don't have a ton of oversteer and when I go to take a corner I spin out. I can stay even (That sound right)?
