I bought a used rear set of Koni's off the forums here and I was wondering what a decent initial dampening setting would be for autocross. Running YYZ v.5 with TC Cobalt struts in front, for now anyway. Also running front 24mm bar I think with Powell hardcore rear.

I would say to try out half ways and move from there

Half or one full turn from full soft

There was testing done by one of our members, and he claimed 1/2 past full soft was the best all around setting. That's what I run.

yeah i run at 1/2 in the backs on mine as well.

also i would recommend the spring cover things as well so you dont have any coil slap, if you dont have those on already.

Indeed!

Tein makes nice coil silencers.

I bought my YYZ springs/TC struts from CED as complete assemblies and they came with the covers installed. They seem to work great although I don't know what it is like without them.

They just make some noise without them

Alright so today I was messing around with the damper settings and noticed something strange. I assumed if I set both shocks on the same damper setting I could compress them and they should extend back out at the same rate. What actually happened was they were different and the only way I could get them to match up was by adjusting one all the way pretty much soft and the other one all the way stiff. I know the spring force in these cylinders is nothing compared to the springs on the car so I am assuming my little experiment isn't really useful but I thought I would ask on here to make sure. I hate buying used parts but I figured Konis are quality and it was an opportunity to save a bit of money.
