Konis and stock springs, how low can I go?
I'm about to install a set of Koni Yellows on my completely stock R1; I autocross the car so I wonder which spring perch notch I can use and still not rub with the stock springs, wheels, and tires. I'm not going to be changing the springs, as I can't in Super Stock class, but I will be going to 245/45/16s soon; will I need to use the top perch locater - which I understand is equal to the stock ride height of the R1 shocks - or can I drop it any at all?

I have done exactly what rynberg says; he's right. Anything lower than stock on the front with the stock springs and you'll have trouble. You can do whatever you want with the rear.

I have them set at the top perch mount on both front and rear. In retrospect, I wish I had dropped to the middle setting on the rears. It doesn't handle much differently or look bad .... I just don't like how you can see the yellow twintube from a distance.
