koni install?

[Blueiii]

I've seen the "suspension swap" thread and have some details in a copy of project car as well... But can anyone explain how these go together for different ride heights? (Or with a picture?)

I don't understand, different ride heights would imply something with the springs and/or spring perches, which you've not mentioned at all.

swapping suspension on these cars is super simple, use the long bolt method, no special tools needed other then some wrenches, allen keys, 2 tire irons, and a jack/jack stands.

I should have clarified... Koni sports, which have adjustable perches. . . How do they get "put together" for the different perch heights?

The body of the shock has 3 different spots you install a clip/ring/whatever and there lower spring perch sits on the clip.

Picture time!



So by moving the clip/ring/whatever you raise or lower the ride height.

Thanks! Before work this morning I took them out of the package and started looking at it. I realized the c-clip popped out after tinkering a bit. Its not a HUGE adjustment, but I plan on running the FCM 58 mm bumpstops. Will I be riding them nonstop at the lowest setting?

I set mine up on the middle setting and haven't had any problems ...I have heard that on an na at least the lowest setting will cause you to hit the bumpstops on hard cornering, that's why I went on the middle.I am on standard bump stops.

Thanks. Probably should have posted up that these have been installed for a month or two...

Out of interest, what setting did you go for?

I set it low. I've been meaning to post a picture of the ride height just so people could see it.
