I finally got my suspension parts installed last week i ended up using koni yellows form Sam, along with steeda sport springs, J&M caster plates, and a J&M adjustable panhard bar. I am hoping some of you guys can share your adjustment tips with me for the shocks. For just driving around i have them on full soft, what would you guys recommend for the qrt, for autoX and for road racing? i know it will need fine tuned to each car, but a starting point would be appreciated.

 

I went with Sam's recommendation of 1 1/2 turns out from full soft on the front and 1 turn from full soft on the rear and it works pretty darn well!! I have the same shocks and springs in my car as you do. I pretty much keep them the same for street/autocross/trackdays. I don't drag race at all.

The setting(s) that you end up with is some function of how stiff your springs are.

Exactly what he said.......... but switch the front and the back settings
