For those on Koni Coils: What are you set at ?

[HemiAlex]

I'm looking at Koni's to replace my JIC Cross.

I'm going to run 17x8 ET45 BBS LM's with 225/45-17.

I'm already expecting to run Perches in and wound all the way low or just leave them out.

I want to get to about 24 FTG. Where should I set them?

I have the fronts all the way down, rears have 1/2 perch out. I wish the front could go maybe 1/4" lower. 18x8 et38 front, et35 rear. 215/40/18. Pretty much a perfect drop for daily imo, although i wouldn't complain if i could bring it down just a tad more.

Dont the jic cross coils go lower than konis

 

[HemiAlex]

Do you have a picture ?

How do you think the 225/45 will fit? I really want to keep it comfy but not tear up my fenders.

I'm on my 3rd set. I'm not ready for another.

In theory, yes. In real life, no.

They've got a stupidly placed knob on the bottom of the shock body. Right now I'm probably at 25" all around and that knob is about .125 from my CV boot. I could be B&G low on these if the parts didn't interfere.

I like the height I'm at now, but the camber plates are getting old and creating way too many creaks in the car.

Where it sits now. Not low, but really easy to drive with amazing handling.

Same as this for me.

There are a few pics in my garage link under my username, but i don't think i was on the most even ground so take it for what it's worth.

Koni's all the way down with half of the rear perch out.

Your fronts look a little lower than mine but it could be an illusion or tire size.

Pretty sure you could get to 24" ftg without taking the perches out.

 

[HemiAlex]

Getting ready to buy them this week. Pretty excited to have a comfy ride again.

I don't think 225/45 is going to work with koni all the way down, I would just play with it and make sure to set them at the correct height to save your fenders.

all the way down, no perches, ~23" FTG front, 23.25" rear
