Koni is here!

[EcoSwag1990]

For those of you who are having these installed by a shop, how much are they charging? just want to get an idea

Hey @Digital_Synapse They have 2.5 turns of adjustment on the Koni's. This is why I went 1.25 turns at it puts me right in the middle between the softest and firmest setting.

Yes, I did 1.25 turns on each corner so everything is equal.

Are they 2.5? The instructions show 720 degrees of adjustment.

It is 2.5 turns. Bill Tumas from CJPP also confirmed this.

If anything, you can look up what people are paying for spring installs. The steps are practically identical for the fronts.

I'm running the BMR performance springs with both front and rear koni's set 1.25 runs from full soft. It's riding pretty good but a little bouncy. Do I need to go firmer or softer to try and minimize the bounce?

I'm running the same settings and I would agree with your assessment. It is quite bouncy. Haven't tested any other settings yet I may end up going softer

Firmer - more rebound damping.

Thanks to [MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION]! I got my Steeda camber plates and Koni front struts, which were drop shipped, before the autocross I have coming up this weekend.

I finished install this afternoon and went for a test drive and I cannot put into words how much better the front suspension handles then the non-PP struts with my BMR performance springs. This is how the car should handle. I set all shocks to minimum rebound damping and this feels like a very good street/DD setting. I also set the BMR sways to full stiff for this weekend coming up, There is no body roll now! Prior to the auto cross I will set the rebound damping.

Just finished my first Track Day with the Konis (stock PP springs). Car did great and the stiffer rebound settings didn't seem to mind the relatively bumpy H2R road course. I ran the same course a month ago on the stock PP shocks so it was interesting to see how the Konis were better able to tame some of the gnarlier stuff. Its not a night-and-day difference (the PP shocks were doing pretty well), but they're definitely noticeably better.

Went with 6/10ths stiffness front and 4.5/10ths rear this time out.

I like the way you describe the shock settings. Logical. Would love it if folks would standardize on this method as we all experiment with the Koni's.

i adjusted all 4 corners to be 1.5-1.75 turns, cant remember exactly, ride is great now. Almost feels like our 14 IS350 F Sport now. I need to make the rear softer relative for the front.

I'm thinking there could be a benefit to running different settings front to rear, but I don't think many people have had time to experiment. I'm going to take some time this weekend to try out different settings, hopefully I can share any useful information I gather

I agree, but haven't had time to do anything like that myself. Interested in results.

I like the rear firm and the front soft but supple.

When describing shock settings I think NightmareMoon has the right approach. 4/10ths vs 1 turn seems more logical. We have 2.5 turns but 10 "clicks". The turns thing gets weird if 5.5/10ths is the perfect setting. 1.375 turns seems pretty unwieldy. My $.02
