[s-cars] Suspension advice

[Michael Bess]

As the Koni's are adjustable, where have you set the damping adjustment?
This would obviously have some effect on the 'firmness'.

I just had an urS 92 spring set and Koni shocks installed on my
stock-suspended 110 kmi 1995 S6.  I haven't measured lowering, but it is
reportedly small.  My car is firmer now than before, but as the
temperaure was below zero F last night when I tested it, and the shocks
are new, I expect less road feed thru when I have a few miles ( ~ 10k)
on the shocks and it is warmer out.  I'm sure Koni's oil viscosity is
not a constant with temperature.
