I know this Koni/King thing comes up quite alot.

I think i will put my Kings that i have on the Bilsteins onto the 2nd hand Koni Yellows we just picked up for the Silver car.
Only prob is i want to have travel in the suspension as i am suffering from none at the moment and would like the car not to be jumping all about on bumpy roads.

What perch would i be best to use on the Konis to keep the right amount of travel.
I assume the top one but do not want to do it all to find that is too high.
The Kings are the lowered versions.
Heading down to Wakefield for a SOTS this Thursday so not that much time to be trying a perch then taking them out again and removing springs etc etc..

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks ALL in advance!!!

The 'right amount' is probably up to you.

When I bought my car it was on the lowest setting and IMO that was way too low. I set it to the middle setting and that seemed to work well but I couldn't get in/out of my new driveway so I've raised it to the maximum height setting and with an alignment I'm still running -2/-2 camber and noticed no negatives to the handling by going higher but I do have more suspension to play with.

Here's my car Koni's at maximum setting on Kings lowering springs.

Beautifull. Thanks Mate.
That is exactly how we want it.
