I know what you mean, I've gone through the whole range and liked them 1/2 turn off stiff but like you said, it was a bit rough on some of the bad roads. I currently have them 1/2 turn off loose and amazed how well they still dampen. I'm really impressed with the adjustment range.So I set them at full stiff - 1/4 turn and the car felt really planted... however that setting was a bit too stiff for daily driving in the city and potholes and whatnot.
I am now running full soft + 1/4 turn and now the ride quality is amazing for daily driving. It is "floatier" than the stiffer settings, but the car still handles flawlessly. The compression valving seems to be very well matched to my Vagtland Sport spring rates. (Front: 185-275 lb/in. Rear: 800-880 lb/in.)
Similar to the Eibach Pro-Kit(Front: 200-314 lb/in. Rear: 800-914 lb/in.) that is recommended for the kit.
I will probably go to a new spring setup in the near future to see if handling improves as this will be a DD/occasional track car and will progress to a track car later down the road.
My recommendation so far is soft to middle for daily driving on harsher roads and middle to stiff until properly dampened for highway/track. Full stiff may have too much damping depending on your spring rate. This is good as it seems like they can dampen some higher spring rates as well.

I bought mine from [MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION] too. Same reasons mentioned above by Joe. They had a great price and David's forum presence is amazing. Always answering questions and PMs.I bought my Konis from Steeda and they've been on my car for a while now. Since they are brand new, there is probably a bit of back order everywhere. I chose Steeda because I like doing business with them and I know if there were any problems or if I needed help, Steeda would be there. Can you imagine calling a large discount supplier asking for help or clarification on something?
I agree. Calling them never a long wait on hold, very good webpage, tracking #s immediately, communication is top notch, I had an instance where a refund was in order and it was done without question. I am very impressed with this company. :cheers:I bought my Konis from Steeda and they've been on my car for a while now. Since they are brand new, there is probably a bit of back order everywhere.

Because Koni is out of them - everybody at this point is backordered because Koni NA is waiting for inventory to arrive from wherever they're manufacturing them.Where are you guys buying konis from? Tire rack is always back ordered.
LMAO, I didn't spend much more and bought them from Steeda which is a supporting vendor of the forum and a leading developer/vendor for Mustang parts and actively supports our community. You get what you pay for. If you need help or have questions later, do you think those other vendors can/will help? David@Steeda has always been there for me whenever I had a question, needed advice or help. To me, that is worth the very little extra money.
As a result, they are already on my car!

I have not received mine yet but I am pretty sure I am next in line for my order to ship.

The Koni's do not lower the car. To lower the car you would need a lowering spring. I would recommend combining Koni's with a set of Steeda linears.david@steeda any idea when the Koni's will be in stock? Im getting antsy to lower my car
