Koni Yellow/Swifts- Settings

I am curious to know what settings, on the Koni's, are being used for DD. How many sweeps on the front/rear? I saw a few suggestions over on the 370 forum but would like to hear from those that have Koni's installed on the G.

Thanks!

The SWIFT Springs were not designed for Koni shocks! you are better off with brand new OEM Sport Shocks or IPL Shocks.

SWIFT is not like H&R or Eibach or **** in a Box springs.

Well, have had the full set of Koni's installed for almost a week. I must say that I'm impressed with the ride quality. MUCH better ride than the stock shocks with swift springs and better handling capabilities, IMO. Having rebound adjustability is a plus also.

This is true.
But I have had the combo for a while, and there are no cons to this setup.
50% rebound for DD. 25% for spirited twisties.

Technically right now no one really makes aftermarket shocks for our car that are made for 3rd party springs.

Koni's adjustability allows you to at least match the damping rate to lower the change of blowing a strut. Konis been used in motorsports for years with multiple different spring combos so they know what they're doing and do anticipate people are going to run them with aftermarket springs.

Koni now pairs their dampers with H&R springs as a kit in Europe. (TUV Approved)
So there must be something to them!!
