Happy that I have the Koni's and sad that I do not have anymore modifications planned.

Yup one or two turns from full soft is usually best. A turn would be 180 degrees on the yellows.

I thought that the Koni's would be rougher than they are. I have driven 100 miles on them now and, for normal driving, they are just a tad bumpier than stock. Hard cornering (in controlled, non-public environments) is a different story. Not to be cliche, but they are night and day superior.

I have the rears exactly in the middle and the fronts 1/4 turn from the midpoint (toward the firm side). I am staying with these setting for a week or so and re-evaluate. I am thinking another 1/4 turn firm for both front and rear ends, but let's see how it goes.

sounds good!

the dampers do need time to get the airbubbles out so i would keep it soft for a good 500miles then stiffen up.

yep. i drove her over the weekend and she's definitely solid enough for my roads here. mods will only make it worse for me at this point.

i want to get a boxy hatch next to work on...
