koni shocks and eibach spring setup

Post by **newkid** » Fri Sep 19, 2014 5:06 pm

Here you go, 2 setting on front

3 on the rear

The circlip that holds the lower spring holder sits in the groove and the spring holder is held up by the circlip.

Never had an issue with mine, did a fair few laps of the ring just fine, only changed as I need more stiffness in my life.

I found those latest pics quite interesting newkid

so I did some more searching on line.

Some interesting/clear pictures and specific prelude info on Koni's here;
http://www.preludepower.com/forums/show ... p?t=342003
A selected few pics from that thread;

In looking for this lot, I stumbled on this thread about Bilsteins;
http://nzhondas.com/suspension-handling ... 550-a.html
With these pics;

So now I'm wondering if the Bilstein's I have in the barn, lined up for my BB4 are also height adjustable?

I'll have to check!

hhmm i wonder why i have such a reasonable gap then between the wheels and arch, i can only guess its down the the spring then and not the height of the shocks circlip

thanks everyone for this, really good info and a great guide to go on if & when i refurb them

Just done some digging on the Bilstein website and B6 Sport dampers aren't height adjustable, B8 Sprint dampers are.

Bilstein also do dampers for the 3g... (Koni don't).

I have this set up, all Konis on the "0" position. This is perfect to me. I want to go with 17" Wheels but I'm affraid it raises my car, what do you think about it ? I can go lower but camber will not be sufficiently adjustable with this full drop.

Well that explains how people are getting different ride heights with the same suspension set up. I had the Koni yellows and H&R springs but mine wasn't that low..
