I have a fjcw09 convertible with standard suspension. I'm looking to install NM lowering springs with either koni yellow or bilstein shocks. Main goals are to have comfort and well as better handling for spirited driving for my daily driver. Which combo would be better for my application? For those who recommend Koni yellow, would I place all four corners on softest setting?

 

I've installed both combos and really prefer the Koni Yellows they seem to ride better and more cost effective.
You can set them to full soft but I prefer to set the rears just a little off of full soft for a daily driver. That way it has less bounce.

 

Thanks Way....that was very similar to what i had in mind. How many turns towards firm in the rear u think...a half turn or full turn?

 

I found 1/2 a turn from soft had exactly the same extension resistance as full soft, so
I'd go for 1 turn from full soft, which is a little firmer than full soft.

There seems to be some variation from with the Koni Yellows as to when the
resistance on rebound starts to increase from one shock to the next, so check
it out a bit before deciding on a setting.

 

Thank you very much for your info...appreciate your time!

 

try maybe 1/2 turn and see what you think

 

ok..will do..thanks!
