I have my car set to max on both front and rear and I have not changed them at all. Love it. It is personal preference though. Depends on how you will be driving the car.

Do those Koni's have 1-1/4 turns from full soft to full firm like m030 rear Koni's? If so then I'd say 3/8 of a turn from full soft is the best compromise between performance and comfort for a street car. 5/8 [half like Raj suggested] is good for a 968 that sees occasional DE or autocross.

i just want a bit more planted in the back, also a bit firmer.
When i replaced the old ones with the sachs oem, and m030 sway bar the car became more planted, i just want a bit more of that.
im gonna adjust them today, and install them saturday.

This is my first post, I have discover this forum days ago. I live in Spain and have a 968 CS and a 968 copue. It´s a pleasure to read this forum with a lot of tech information.

Koni´s
I have in the coupe them to the max, I think is the best setup.

I have in the Spanish Forum a DIY to install the Koni´s in perfect Spanish, but with a lot of pictures.
