Neil, I set my red Koni's at 2/3 hard. At first they were quite stiff(CD player skipped often) byt after 7000 miles I have to say that this is a good choice. They have seemed to loosen up a bit. I guess I should say that I do like to drive the car hard so I do not mind a bit harder ride. Hope this gives you a starteing point. JIM 87'5KTQ (red Koni's all around)
