I keep one knob in the glovebox and the other one in my house as a spare. Usually ride about 3/4 up from full soft (just below halfway between soft and stiff).

what do you guys think of 360 from full soft?... looking at the instructions, it says it is a "sport" setting. i rode on this for a few blocks, it feels fine [stiff, but not headache stiff]....but i worry about wearing out the shocks.

i change from half from full soft for daily driving with passengers....and 180 to 360 when i want to have some fun. will full soft bottom out?...and will 360 from full soft wear them out faster?

I'd rather stick with 1/2 turn (or 180) at least it will save your shocks. No need to ride on them so stiff that you wear out the shocks quicker and loose money on them.

I'll probably run the 180 - 260 setting.... I love the feel It is a dramatic improvement from my stock shocks. The car feels so much more responsive now



...do you know if full soft - half turn from full soft will bottom out with passengers in daily driving?

Remember bottoming out is because you have soft springs. The Koni Sports only affect rebound, not compression.

Or you didn't cut your bumpstops enough.

I left my bumpstops at stock length.
