EK Koni Shocks Height question

[kerim]

i have Koni adjustable shocks (not coilovers) with H&R springs at the front and king springs in the rear,

my question is if i put the shocks on the highest setting, does anyone have any idea on how low the highest setting makes the car sit off the ground

reason being is that i put stock suspension back in, as it was too low before, and wanting to put the konis back in but dont want it to be too low,

thanks

are they height adjustable or damper adjustable? (altho from your post im assuming theyre height adjustable)

[kerim]

they are koni reds,

from my understanding when i bought my konis, the highest perch on the konis should be the same or very very similar to the height of the stock shock spring perch.

hence, the only lowering you should be receiving should be from the springs themselves.

koni reds are damper adjustable internally.

noob question, what is damper adjustment


How hard the car rides = damper.

thanks man appreciate it,
can some one confirm if koni reds are height adjustable also, as i am pretty sure they are damper adjustable, but not sure about height

[kerim]

im pretty sure they are damper, as it is engraved in the shock "damper adjustable", but want to know if they are also height adjustbale, via purch settings aswell, and the height it gives
i know they cannot be adjusted like coilovers

[SiReal]

well, all u have to do is go look at the shock. i dont know if they are height adjustable.

look for grooves in the shock body.

see pic for example of height adjustable shock. IGNORE THE RING bit. the CIRCLIP is what you move to adjust the height on which the spring perch sits on.

There not damper adjustable, and IIRC they have the spring base welded to the shock.

Hmmm these koni reds are damper adjustable(for porsche).

I have Koni Yellows on my EJ8 coupe, no they're not height adjustable and I'm running Koni sport springs (check out my ride in the introduction section).
