I asked him to set them on the soft side...since I knew the ride would be much firmer anyway.
After we discussed the type of driving I do and where I do it, he said he would set them "light". I'm guessing that's the same as soft. Sorry, I don't know how many turns.

OT: David, glad I got you...
what setting do you have your Konis at? 1.5 turns? or is it halfway between soft and firm... do you think you can give me an approx. # of turns you had your installer do? thanks.

Hey Arun.
I asked my installer to leave the Konis at the factory setting. I'm not sure if that's necessarily the ideal setting, but I was worried about my wife not digging the ride firmness. P'whipped, I know. I'm thinking that I may eventually increase them to maybe 25% or so, but right now they're pretty comfy all things considered.

Thanks. Knowing you highly recommended Rosario made it a lot easier to make the final decision.
My problem is that I was there last Friday...and the Caldwell Public Library was closed for Good Friday! I walked up and down Bloomfield Ave for 3 hours. I even tried to rent a car at Budget...but they were out of cars due to the holiday weekend. Made for a long morning.

thanks
how long did your car take to settle? mine has been on now for about 3 weeks and I think it still needs time to settle. the ride was bouncy the 1st few days and has greatly diminished since. its still a tad bit bouncy here and there esp. on small potholes or bumps but nothing that will throw me off my seat.
i am just curious that's all.

LOL, no problem. Yeah, there's not much in Caldwell...
and there's only so many donuts you can eat at the Dunkin' Donuts down the street. I started feelin' like a homeless guy after a few hours, lol.

Funny you should ask...
My front ride height has been totally stable since day one, but my rear ride height has shown some slight variations. Sometimes the left rear is just a tad (1/8" to 1/4") lower than the right, or sometimes both sides are even but a hair higher or lower. Weird. I'm keeping an eye on it, but if it continues I'm gonna ask my installer to take a look at it.
