New Koni improved?

I just got my new Koni's installed a couple days ago.
They feel quite good. You feel the road a little more.

I thought the Koni's were suppose to be infinitely adjustable but the top shock **** only turns about 1 + 3/4 revolutions to full hard. Is this normal or do they have a new shock design?

The rear spring pearches were set at the lowest settings. And I set the front driver's side in the middle height. The passenger side is set on the lowest perch
position. And it's still a little higher than the driver's side.
I have a decent drop in height, however the
driver's side rear is really low. I will probally move that one to the middle position as well.

Should I get a alignment done as well?

THAT IS INFINITLY ADJUSTABLE.
you don'e have 8 settings or 4 clicks to choose from, if you want it a bit softer/firmer turn the ****. not one click but 1 degree if you want and they will change.

Thanks guys... What do you guys usual set the top **** at? For the Street?

And where would you set it if you were at the Drag strip? I imagine the rears set to full hard and fronts to
medium. Can anyone confirm?
