Re: KONI SPRING PERCH ADJUSTABLE Posted by saabsince 93b [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: KONI SPRING PERCH ADJUSTABLE, saabsince 93b ![]() ![]() |
I will answer my own post here. Had the lower spring mount on the Konis mover up to the upper notch in the body. this adds about 1.5" of pre-load. Raises the Ride height on my Aero just a bit.....and it made all the difference in the world as far as the bottoming and handling is concerned.
My observation is that if your rear springs seem to be soft on your Aero 4 door, if you install Konis, put the spring perch in the upper notch before installing the springs. Or you could call this the upper position. I think the lower one is too low for most Aeros, and the upper raises the rear about 3/4" effectively......which for me was a very good thing.
I saw a post on line from Koni about this, and I spoke to Nick at Talifaro where I bought the Konis and he told me to try the upper position before messing with springs He was very right.
Caution, the installation instructions don't mention this adjustment......at least I don't remember that part. My indy, who is great was not too familiar with this, but graciously listened to me and was happy with the results. I bet he asks the next Aero customer who wants to install Konis what he/she would like.
