i install a set of koni coilover, and lower it quite abit.

after driving for a week of without alignment, dampening adjustment (full soft). i think i need some expert advice on alittle setup specs.

1.) rear is causing quite abit of rubbing, will hardening the rear dampening help? but i'm ready to do some trimming if neccessary.

2.) how many turn should i turn to get a more aggressive (throwing my cars in corners, spirit driving, fast road driving..etc) for the rear and front dampening?

3.) if i get alot of vibration under heavy acceleration, it's caused by the CV joints right? anything will help without raising the car ?

thanks for any advice and help!

 

I've been running these for a while now... my 2 cents:

1) not much - there is just less clearance in the back, I ended up dremeling the plastic away but how much depends on your tire/wheel combo and how low you ride. Just look for the rub marks...
2) I suggest 1/3 to 1/2 firm front & rear and see how that works.
3) yes that's my experience as well, increase the ride height just a bit and see if that helps...

 

im probably going with ur suggestion of 1/2 firm, cause i like it more aggressive.

and thx for the advice for the rest of the things, i think i will dremel some plastic away too~ thanks!

anyone else with konis?

 

How many cm's Koni CoilOvers lowers ???

 

this is just approximate but it looks like mine start with almost 1" (2cm) of lowering and will lower beyond 2" (over 5cm) over stock. It will differ from car too car depending on the options (weight)...

 

I'm thinking buy the Koni coil overs... right now i have H&R spring but only -3 cm front a rear, and i want -5 cm... I have a MCS JCW 2006.. do you think the with the konis i can get a look like these ??

 

yes you can get that low but keep in mind that the Koni's don't have independent height adjustment; meaning, when you go as low as in the pictures you will have seriously reduced your suspension travel... might not be an issue on very smooth roads but you will bottom out on bad ones...

 

and the Eibach Pro street kit... do you think it's best than the Koni ?? the Eibach i think it lowers from 2 to 6 cm's.

THanks
