Arrow Koni Yellows

What's the best setting for hard street driving? I have Eibach Springs. Thanks
Also how many height adjustments do the shocks have?

I am ready to install a set of rear Koni's for street/track use, and have no idea where to start with the rebound damping. I have been running Espilir's for about a month now and blew out the passenger rear shock (the drop was closer to 44mm than their stated 32 mm. I hade also cut the rear bumpstops in half, per recomendations of those on this Forum.

I as awaiting new bumptops b4 installations of the Koni's, but would be very appreciative of a starting point for rebound damping with the Koni's.

thanks,

Mark

Do the Koni Yellows have threaded shock bodies

I just have mine set as firm as possible. I'll soften them up in the back if I'm drag racing the car. Besides that I keep them as stiff as possible.
