Hey has anyone got konis installed on stock springs, mines dc2 to be specific
i was wondering if the springs were to be installed on the lowest perch on the konis, how much would it lower the car? i've searched but i cant find anything on this

by memory its 1.25 inches

for a more accurate idea, just put a ruler on the perches and measure the drop or raise.

i think for dc2:
Front set, there are three perches and the middle perche is the stock height.
Rear set, there is only two perche and the top one is the stock height

so you can choose the amount of drop. From "around" stock height to alittle lower.

I have koni yellow with oem spring on my civic.
On stock perch and still have a big gap on wheel.

I'm not dropping my ride anyway. On it's softest setting, it's firm enough (for me). I notice dive/squat has been reduced significantly compare to oem dampers.
a great mod... :thumbsup:

yes.. you can go lower, like what crxer said.
Koni yellow has 2 perches on front damper and 3 at the back.
When you purchase them, koni use the top perch at the front and the middle perch at the back.
