[V8] Koni Sport Settings

[S_Matus]

Bob - 

I finished the install and went for alignment.  Like I said the fronts are set at 3/4 turn and the rears are set at 1/2 turn. I'm feeling a little oversteer so i'll need to bump up the rears to 3/4 too. Did you experince any oversteer at 180/180 or 0/0?  I purchased a hydraulic spring compressor of Craigslist for 20 bucks. So I can put away that ratchet wrench.

This weekend I'm planning to re-adjust the rears and see if that corrects the oversteer.  The H&Rs are fine springs and do not have a harsh ride.  I'm accustomed to a more "sport" suspension setup. RS6's DRC and the Koni setup on my Prowler.

Scott,

How did this turn out?  I have 245/45-17 on Avus Snow flakes. Stock
Springs, worn out bushings.  Set mine full soft, after 180 deg all 4
corners first try. I went with a taller profile tire to fill the wheel
well and help soften the ride, however the Koni's are still a little too
harsh for my typical driving habits.  Just wondering if I'm getting
old!!

Thanks,
Bob

For all the GB Koni participants - 

What is the thinking about the settings for the install of these Koni
Sports  I have just installed H&Rs with the Konis.  I hope my 255/40-17
tires w/ A6 4.2 Speedlines still fit under the fenders. I have used the
Tokico Adjustable-5s in the past, but they are externally adjustable.

I set my Konis to 270 degrees for the front and 180 degrees for the
rear.  What setting did you guys use for your Konis? What are your
experinces

They have 720 degrees of setting range total. I actually could rotate
them about 765 degrees.

I do not want it too extreme. I want great handling and will accept some
sacrifice in ride.  I can go back in to make a setting change.  I'm sure
everyone that was part of the GB pondered this question a few times.

Thanks,

Scott.
