Depends on track, shock setup and spring rates. You have to try and find out the best adjustment by yourself.., there are no rules.. |

I tested many settings. For me it's firmest on front and standard on rear. I tested full firm all round and it drove like shit. You nid the rear to roll a bit to still get the passive rear steer. My experience is the conventional "firm up the rear to reduce understeer " definately does not work for me.
Of course that's just my experience. A car's set up largely depends on driving style as well. My set up has tested useful based on lap times i clocked. Good luck. _________________ Each time I speed I say, "Dear lord, make me fast and accurate..."

Has anyone fitted Koni's from a ser1 strut to a ser 3
I am having serious problems. |
For the rear you will have no problems.
For the front you will need the original Spica struts and to change the top of the suspension (the ruber). |
