Koni sport shocks questions
Hi to all q listers!
I have a 1990 V8 quattro that currently has H&R springs and Koni sport
adjustables. When
I had the Konis installed, it was set to medium settings. Now, I missed the
original
ride but I still love taking hard turns on corners.
My questions are:
Before I spend another 4 hours disassembling the
suspension and adjusting the Konis to the softest setting, any lister out
there have tried the Konis on the softest setting? How about Bilsteins HD?
How are they compared to the Konis? Or am I tackling the problem the wrong
way? Is it the H&R springs that's giving me the stiff ride? I was told by H&R
technical help that the H&Rs are only 15% stiffer than the stocks, however
the car right now feels like 50% stiffer. So I am leaning towards junking the
Konis and replace with Boge Turbos or Bilstein HD (if available) - if I am
going to disassemble the suspension again.
Any input will be appreciated!
