What height setting are your KONI's at???

Hey guys, I'm running the OEM wheels/tires and I have a buddy thats running 18x9's. We are both fixing to install some Koni yellows and I was wondering what ride height you guys are running.

Right now I have them at the top setting which according to a recent post I found that is stock height.

We are both going to have lowing springs, I'm going to run some H&R springs with the stock wheels and he will be running Eibach springs from Pettit with his 18x9's

I'm thinking he should stay the stock height with the 18's and Eibachs so he doesnt rub. I'm thinking with me running the oem wheels/tires I could prob run the middle setting. What do you guys think would be a good ride height for us.

Thanks guys,
STEPHEN

The fronts should definitely stay on the stock height settings. I forget how much the H&R's are supposed to lower, but the clearance is getting close as is. The rears could probably sit on the middle perch without too much trouble. I've often thought about dropping to the middle setting, but I'm just too damn lazy to pull all that stuff off again.

Stephen, How is everything? When I had the stock wheels on I keep them both on there lowest settings without any problems. But that was only street driving. Not sure how it would have been on the track.
I am running the koni yellows and Eibach pro kit.. (but thinking of going with the H&R's)

Did you ever get a et on your car after the work? We are going to have to get somthing going soon with us local guys,, getting some bad *** cars showing up in town.. We have 3 single turbo supras in town now...

Whats up with the 20b t-78 in B-ham???

Stock sized tires with a big front sway bar and stock springs were not enough to keep the tires out of the fenderliners with the fronts at the lowest setting. If you are running lowering springs leave the fronts at the highest setting. The rears will probably be fine at the middle.

I dunno about either H&R or Pettit, but the regular Eibach pro-kits lower the car too much in front, not enough in rear. I run them on top setting in front, middle setting in rear... I could probably even use the lower setting in the rear.
