Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm most likely going to get them with eibachs on my cl9 euro. What damper setting should I set it to, considering I'll only be doing everyday driving.

EG Civic - about 3~4 on the street, afterwhich it gets too harsh and my poor bones ache
I would start with 1/2 turn from the softest setting and go from there.
As with most dampers the turn vs damping isnt linear and the last 1/4 turn from the firmest setting yield the largest difference with the yellows I find. Koni recommends the adjustment to be used as a wear compensation device; ie once you've found the sweet spot to suit your car and springs leave it there till the rebound ( stock koni yellows adj for rebound only not bump ) weakens due to wear and tear.
Good thread.
Info will be helpful as I'm getting Koni Yellow and Eibach pro kit for my Em1.
Cheap as from ebay atm. I'm looking at only $1000 for both brand new shipping incl.. Gonna do the install myself with a mate. Great bang for buck mod IMO.
Was gonna do it with a mate, but don't have a spring compressor unfortunately. Place called southside suspension, they quoted 300 ish including wheel alignment. Not bad I guess.
putting it out there, depends on your spring rates too
rocking a h&r kit(the use koni yellow dampers with their own springs)
as far as I know the springs are around 330/280lbs or 5.9/5kg progressive
running about 0.75turns from softest at the front, and 0.5turns from softest at the rear
16x7 wheels with 205/50/16 tyres, 38psi front cold and 36psi rear cold
You need springs compressors. 2, not just one.Quote:

Ah k. I know Ken at accurate does awesome sussy jobs, he quoted 430. I'll keep my options open.
Not sure what the spring rates are for eibach off the top of my head, but think I'll just start with .5 to .75 turns from fully soft. I'll be running 18X8 225/35/18Quote:

Just drove home with my new setup. Liking it so far! Bout 1 turns from full soft and so far it feels pretty smooth! I'll post up pics on the weekend.
