S13 - rebound setting for koni yellow + RSR race

[maxtherabbit]

So I've decided to go koni yellows and rsr race on my s13. What's a good starting point for rebound adjustment? Halfway? Spring rates are 5k front and 4.2k rear. Thanks

[Def]

Halfway or a little more sounds good to me.

[maxtherabbit]

Thanks, hopefully half works out on the rears since you can't adjust without pulling them...

After driving my dad's S13 w/ Koni Yellows and Eibachs, I'd say go for more. I wound up with his almost full stiff before I was happy with them. Unfortunately I have to admit Def was right that eibachs are too damn soft on an S13.. They were great on my Maxima, but not on an S-chassis.

I'm a little bit apprehensive about going too stiff on rebound in the rear. I've got the 21mm hicas sway back there and am a little worried about picking up tires on turns. Or am I not thinking that through correctly...

sort of off topic but the rear konis don't come with spring seats right? right now I've got gr-2 in the rear that I would prefer not to hack up to take the spring seats (if that is even possible?)

is there any place to buy just the springs seats? or should I just to the junk yard and drift some off some oem rear shocks?

[Matt93SE]

Just called Dad.. he said he's "pretty sure" he had to cut the old seats off his stock shocks and reuse them. But knowing that old man, I wouldn't bet the farm on that.

[maxtherabbit]

yeah I think he's right - I dunno if the seats will even come off of the gr-2 though, I know you can get em off the stockers

?? Mine came with seats. Granted they are an S14 set but my rears came with everything except the top mounts.

[maxtherabbit]

hmmmm, maybe I'll get a nice surprise when they get here

anyone ordered 8040-1081 sports recently?

[e1_griego]

I need a rear pair of spring seats if someone has a pair laying around.

[maxtherabbit]

so does that mean you bought konis and didn't get any included? I'm off to the junkyard tomorrow morning to pull a couple, if I get lucky and my koni's come with them you can have the pulls

[e1_griego]

I bought them used for a friend and they had ground controls.

[Matt93SE]

Still have the gc setup? Dad may be interested...
