Koni Install and Settings?
#21
I did alright, played a little with the settings. If I had the rebound too stiff I was getting problems with the brakes going into safe/ice mode, where it thinks one wheel is outta whack so the brakes go into what I would call Ice mode. Lessened up the rebound a bit and it seemed to help.
I'm running the Midiv in Oklahoma City next weekend, so hopefully I'll get a little better idea on what settings to try to run. I'll also be at the Peru NT and the Test&Tune the day beforehand, so that should give me some good settings for Concrete.
I haven't had any time to do the writeup on them yet. Hopefully tonight.

I've been writing this thing for the past 3 hours now, and I just finished writing the section about installing the rears! The fronts will have to be written up tomorrow evening, maybe during the day at work. I've got TONS of images for the install, as well as a pretty detailed description of the process.

I finally got the article written. Go easy on me, it's a LONG one, if you notice an blatant errors let me know.

I just got back from an AutoX where I ran my Z for the first time. The car doesn't feel very connected.. I can feel the tires screeching and scrubbing all over the place, but generally the car feels like it's on a cloud, not precise or connected to the road at all.. especially the rear end. Did the Koni's help in this way? I am ordering some different tires tomorrow (just to aid in time) and I'm curious what effect the Konis had compared to stock.. is it a big difference? Thanks

I would say yes, they make a noticable difference in performance at an autocross. You can tune them fairly easily to get more or less oversteer.
