Falcor Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Congrats falcor! It's been a long time coming. Tell me it doesn't feel like a completely different car....go on! You are not joking. There is no more boatiness and it doesn't rock when shifting anymore. Thank you again for answering the last minute questions I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 What is the general consensus on Koni settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I think I am at 1 or 1 1/4 turn in the front and 1/2 turn in the rear. Start off with full loose and let them break in. I think I started at 1/2 in the front and 0 in the rear and turn them 1/4 turn at a time. Drive and you will know, it will be easy to get them close pretty quick.

GTEASER Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Depends the spring rate of the springs you are running. First you have to leave them on full soft for about 500 to 1000 miles to break them in. For daily duty I run 1 turn front and 1/2 turn rear with my H&R springs which are stiffer than Eibachs. I firm them up an additional 1/2 turn more for track days. With Eibachs I would go with 1/2 turn in the front and leave the rears full soft.

coco26 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I've also gravitated to around 1 in the front and a little above 1/2 in the rear on my own. I also have H&R's, so I'd agree with GTeaser's suggestion for Eibach's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I am probably around 1.75 turns front and 1.5 rear. I am on eibachs and they do firm up quick, I had the Konis turned up more and had to put them back. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must like driving a 94 F250 4x4. Turn those fockers down and save your lower back.

Golferdude1087 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think I only did 1/2 front, and 1/4 rear. But im also a 3.6r and i compensated the extra weight in the front by going a bit stiffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 I tried something yesterday. Cranked the front's all the way and the rear cranked all the way and backed off 1/2 a turn. Drove home from work and back to work this morning. Not doing that again. Just put them back to 1/2 turn front and full soft rear. Cranking them all the way should be track only.

Humble Rumble Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It's fun for a bit or for track usage but full hard is pretty rough to live with. I did it for a few weeks this summer just cause I wanted to feel like a hotboi lol. Lately I had been running 3/4 turn hard on both front and rear, and it just wasn't feel stiff enough or responsive enough, turned it up to 1 1/4 turn F/R and the girlfriend started complaining, so I turned it down to a 1 turn F/R and it's felt pretty good lately. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 It is cool to have the option and is fairly quick, esp with the carpet cutouts in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
