what do you have yours set at? I just recently installed my Koni SA's on my GT, and I've been experimenting with the adjustments, and tryin to get these things dialed in just right. I started out with the rears set to 1/2 turn from full soft, the fronts 1 turn from full soft... the front end seemd to get a little floaty over certain sections of road lengthy dips. So I dialed up 1.5 turns from soft on front 2/3 turn from soft on the rear..car is totally controlled now and handling in nice and taut. But seems to come a little unglued from the road on some nasty rough surfaces.
I know you don't want them set to where the suspension is under-damped but not overdamped either and I'm having a hard time telling where the sweet spot is, so what are you guys runnin' 'em at, and whats your reasoning.
I realize that some of it is preference too. I'm trying go get as firm as I can without overdamping...
Edit-forgot to add, mine is a 2008 GT with stock springs and stock suspension except for Sam Strano swaybars and J&M LCA's in rear...

 

Stock springs...pretty soft.

I run the Yellows with Vogtland leveling springs. They're a good deal stiffer than stock, so on the street I just set them 1/4 turn from soft on all four corners. The ride is really quite composed and livable over Illinois' terrible roads. On track (w/Nitto NT01s) I dial them up; 1-3/4 front and 2 full in back. The new brakes & tires are pulling her down something fierce and the greater rebound in back helps combat the rear end getting unloaded super quick. So far it's a work in progress.

Best,

Are you running the bars full-stiff?


Norm

 

No. right now, front and rear bars are both in mid postition. I have not really started experimenting with the bar adjustments yet. That might be a subject for another post...
Should I be running them full stiff ?

 

So how about 1.25 turns in front, and .5 in the rear??????

There is no right or wrong, and different surfaces will pose different issues, and that--in a nutshell-- is why having the option to adjust dampers vs. just having to settle for the base valving is nice. Those that haven't gotten to see the difference just don't get it, those that have generally never want a non-adjustable again.
