Rear KONI Sport Shock Setting

Before I fit KONI (Yellow) Sport Shocks to my 2011 Base Mini Cooper, I'd like to get an idea what other people have used or recommend for the stiffness setting: Full-soft, full-hard, or at what level in between?

I'd greatly appreciate your sharing what setting you've used, what kind of driving you've been doing with your MINI (street, Autocross, etc.) and any observations as to how happy you are with the setting (i.e. love it, or would change it to be a bit harder/softer).

I use my MINI as a daily driver and an occasional Autocrosser. As you have to remove the rear shocks to adjust them I want to listen to any learned lessons in order to take my best stab at adjusting them right the first-time!

Thank you in advance for your responses.

At the bottom of this thread you will find the little bit I think I know. I have not yet done the test program, so caveat emptor.

Cheers,

Charlie

Great response and referral link to your 1-14-2013 posting (and prior discussion), thanks Charlie.

Hopefully the info you've shared, along with with the title of this thread, will help future searchers of this question find their answer more easily.
