What is your setting?
What do you guys have your Koni adjustables set at?
I've read that the rears are at full soft and the fronts are 3 sweeps away from full soft.
Does this sound about right?
Car sees mainly street use, but will be ran at the track on occasion. Also running the Strano springs.
Thanks,
Jon

blacker than wesleysnipes- 98' trans am
i run my rears on full soft (of course)
the fronts i run 5 sweeps from full soft. they feel and respond really great.
i think i am going to try 2-3 sweeps at the track to see.
with the 5 sweeps i doubt even notice the weight transfer...obviously it happens...but compared to my stock set up with no front sway bar....the konis/stranos fall short

4 sweeps on the front seems to work great for me.
On the rear is where I make the most adj. cause it affects the comfort ride quality the most and is easiest to change. You can run full soft most of the time and get good responce and go to one full turn for spirited drives.
If you bought them from Sam give him a call and explain your set up and what your looking for, that's part of his service...if you didn't don't bother.lol.

6 sweeps from full soft in the front, and 1/2 turn from full soft in the rear.
FYI, I'm running 625 lb.in. spring rates up front, and air ride in the rear w/55psi (on average).Last edited by Blue28; 06-24-2010 at 04:05 PM.

Got the Koni's/Strano's on. The stance looks great. I have a couple of problems now though.
1) The BMR Trak Pak cross-member for the TA hits going over speed bumps. Not that I ever hardly go over those, but I just happen to going into a school parking lot to take some pictures in a parking garage. I might need to look at a different cross-member which sucks a big one considering this is already welded to the SFC's.
2) When I make a hard left, I hear clunking. It sounds like it's coming from the TA rubbing inside the tunnel. I'll have to crawl under there and take a look....I hope this is the noise and I can create clearance there.
3) Now when I go over a hard bump, it sounds like the ass-end is bottoming out. Does anyone else have this happening with the settings on full soft?

I think the aftermarket TA's just make a bunch of noise in general. It did on my friends '97 Firehawk.
My DA's are set up for more AutoX and RR. Don't do drag.

I agree, but this sound was not normal at all. It only happened the one time so I am thinking that maybe something "settled". I took it out and make a bunch of hard turns in a parking lot, both ways. I wasn't able to duplicate any noise so I think I am good to go now!
