Default Koni shock set up

I am switching over to a set of Koni single adj shocks. I wanted to get an idea of where to set them as a start.
The car is a 2002 Z06 , LS3 swap, VBP sport springs Strano large front bar and the OEM Z06 rear bar
Any help would be great
thanks

I see no response so I'll give you a start.


I used to have these & IIRC the fronts were about 2/3 stiff and rear 1/3 stiff.

You'll have to count the sweeps as I don't remember how many sweeps from full soft to full hard.

Start there and adjust to liking.

I suggest the plastic tie wrap test to see if you are reaching full compression & if you are give it more sweeps until you are not full compression.

When I had mine they (the adjusters) would jam/lockup at full stiff & also the lower rubber bushing would wander out (in front) , so watch for those circumstances.
