[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 573114, member: 9209"] I've been using Koni SA's for over a year now, and I really like the shocks. I run them at full soft on the street, and tune for best valving at the track. They do ride excellent on street, and I'm running H&R Super Race equivalent Coilover front/Standard spring rear. When you're going to tune at the track, you have to set the shocks by the feel. Don't go full stiff, because there is no need for overvalving the shock. Start at half turn, and throw it around some corners. Look for the signs of wheel hop. It will be easy to tell, because you'll feel like the grip is getting choppy and feels like your wheels are bouncing like a ball. Proceed to adjust the shock until wheel hop is gone. Edit: You should really consider getting a panhard bar kit installed as your next modification. I've been watching your videos, and you could really benefit from it, because you will eliminate thrust angle (less understeer), and stabilize your rear by a good deal. Last I checked it was ESP legal. There is no need for numbers, because Konis don't adjust in clicks but rather in quarter circle turns. Every 90 degree turn counter clockwise turns up the stiffness.
