Default Koni Yellow Settings

Picked up front and rear Koni Yellows for my FE1 1996. Hoping someone that’s had some experience with them could give me some insight as to what settings will work best for spirited street driving.

Well I just turned the adjustment 2/3rds to start. Havn't seen a need to change them since. I'm primarily doing Autocross.

Much appreciated. I may start with a 1/4 turn and see how it feels. Have you been happy with the Koni?

I installed yellow KONI Sports in 2004. I set them up thusly: Rear, 1/2 turn from full soft. Front, 3/4 turn from full soft. I used the car for spirited mountain runs in Southern California for years, and never felt the need to change settings. They are still set to the same settings today and I will leave them alone.
I had put a new set of Edelbrock IAS shocks on the car before the KONI's. The Edelbrock's just felt weird and I replaced them with the KONI's after several thousand miles. Other than the agricultural appearance, I have zero complaints with the KONI's .

Appreciate your input. I like the way that setup sounds, I'll give that a try.
