Best setting for KONI Yellows on Eibach Pros?
I've found answers for HR springs, but nothing for the Eibachs-
I'm installing a set of Konis w/Eibachs next week and I would like to know a recommended setting, especially for the rears. |

This stuff is so subjective.
Set it at the softest setting (minus 1/4 turn) to start. If it's too soft, tighten it. There's just no way to tell what one setting that may work for one person on one set of road conditions would work for someone else.

Yeah, I understand that.
I'm just looking for a good go-by. The street here in Houston are pretty rough/uneven/bumpy, but are straight with very few curves and turns. I have read that with the H&R sports, a good starting place is a 1/2 turn in the front & rear. Is it safe to assume that this would be a good starting point as well? I'm not worried about the fronts since they are easily adjustable, it's the rears that I'm most concerned about. |

I have the BMW performance springs and Koni yellows. And I have non-RFT tires (18 inch) -- which makes a difference in softening the ride.
I originally set everything to about 1/3 of the way from full-soft. Have since tightened the front to 1/2 (1 full turn) and am going to take off the rears and set them at 1/2 (1 turn also) as soon as I can. It depends on what you want. If you want "softer and plush" then go with 1/4 of the way from full soft (1/2 turn). If you want tighter handling but still comfortable (except on certain expansion joints) then go with it set in the middle of the range. Even at full soft, this set up is miles better and offers much more precise handling than stock sport package |

Id say 1.5 turns from soft in the rear and 1 turn from soft in the front. If I still had mine thats what I would have done. I did have H&R but I think even on EPK that should work fine.
The problem is damn rears that have to be removed everytime you want to make an adjustment, very frustrating.
