Settings.

I have only done my fronts so far. I set them at two. I need to swap housings (My Tok housings are too loose) Next time I set them at three. In the rear I am going to set them at three,

Mine are / will be (in rear) paired with Eibachs.

Yeah I need to do the Koni adjustables all around as well, how was the performance difference for you between Tokico Blue Performance with the eibach springs and the Koni adjustables with the Eibach springs. Also did you get the Koni reds, or yellows?

I have the internally adjustable reds. I believe that's the only kind they have for the 3rd gen. I had the Tok with oem springs, so the comparison may not be entirely fair, but to me, the toks aren't even in the same league as the Toks to compare. Plus I was pretty ****ed when they softened after about 15K, and were pretty well gone after 20K. The Koni's I don't expect to ever replace, even if I put an other 100K on the car.

I have mine set at 2 half turns and it is perfect for me. I do not want to turn a nice riding car into a rock.

I have Eibachs, and 16 inch tires and would not want it harder.

i was thinking 2 in the front, 3 in the rear
i noticed that the adjustment is only for rebound
and not for compression... or am i wrong?

Adjustment is for rebound only. You are correct.
