Default Koni Yellows

Where do people set these for DDD? (daily-duty dampening?) I set them at full firm minus one full rotation and they're still pretty damn firm! The drive to work was awesome, but still a bit stiff.

Thanks for the feedback everyone... I think I'm gonna just set them at full soft unlessI have a good reason to stiffen them up. Firmer than stock but not crazy like if you ratchet them down.

If I had some Konis I would post my opinion. Just toy with it and see what you like.

I have mine all the way down on both Stangs... no need to turn em up unless you are going to an Autocross.

I do 1/4 turn from full soft on all 4 corners. The stiffer setting is nice for flat roads, but as soon as you hit bumps, dips, etc... you regret that setting. I drive a lot with this softer setting, and I enjoy my car much more being able to float over the rough stuff.
