Koni Suspension Setup
I just purchased a set of Neuspeed Koni Shocks. I currently have a set of Eibach springs. I don't want the car slammed but would like a little more drop. I also want the back to be level to the front. Can anyone advise what notches you set the spring purches at to acheive this? Also as you may probably know the Neuspeeds have 5 levels of adjustment in comparison with the 3 levels on the koni yellows.

The back on the lowest notch and the front on the one from the bottom notch.

Euro is probably right.

I don't know what your actually drop is for your springs. My supposed 1.5f/1.3r isn't even close. I went all the way down in the back and default in the front. My rear is still a tad higher.

Help
Thanks for the feedback. I put the front Struts on and noticed that I had no bumpstops at all. I had a shop put the Eibach springs on about 2 years ago and apparently they did not think the stops were important. Anyway were do you recommend I buy some to put in?

Probably a good idea to pick some up. Its unlikely you'll ever see the bottom of the strut, but if you ever do you'll be glad you got them

Just curious but do you have any pictures of your install? Curious how its set up.

I finished the intall on my koni shocks today. Needless to say ran into a small problem. Took the back drivers side stock strut and eibach spring off. Did not need to compress the spring because it was broken. It was completely broken through about 1 and 1/2 coils from the top. Called Eibach and they will replace if I can find the orginal invoice and take pictures. Otherwise the install was fairly straight forward. Found some new bumpstops and put those in. I hope I don't have any other spring failures in the near future. I wonder if the stock struts had anything to do with the failure.
