Koni yellow owners? What were your damper settings?

unfortunately no middle ground between street and track
just adjust it softer for street
firm it up if need be whilst at the track

On the track, should I dial them up to max firmness? Or slightly less?

depends what the track demands
start from a reference point and move from there

Cheers mate. I'm still getting a feel for things, hopefully I'll work it out eventually.

vinny, just out of curiosity, what springs are you using with your Konis?

i think without any sway bars, the front should be left a little softer than the rear due to the slight understeer biased nature of our cars. I think mine's 0.25 turns from soft at front and 0.75 turns at rear. That's pretty soft but feels pretty balanced for what it is, you could go stiffer.

I'm running a h&r sport cup kit with dc2r top hats
the springs appear to be somewhere in between the sport and race springs

Interesting. Is it true that H&R shocks are actually silver-painted Konis?

Could I ask why you are using DC2r tophats? Actually I don't even know what car you have. I was imagining an EK.

yeah pretty much, made by koni for h&r is engraved into the side

dc2r top hats as they have a solid bushing compared to the rubber/washer combo of the normal ones

and yes ek hatch :)

Hmmm, maybe I should look into getting DC2R tophats. Maybe it might help with the creaking I'm getting at the front, or maybe not, I'm still deciding what to do about that. It's nothing major, so I've decided to leave it for the moment.

yeah they probably won't, I just have them because I figure after changing every other bush why leave the top hat one
dc2r ones appear to be the toughest

ahhh, bushes. It's something that needs to be done on my car. I think worn bushes might be the source of the creaking.

I've noticed the rears have been done at some stage by the previous owner, but the fronts are still original.

Doeable DIY do you think, or nightmarish work?
