I run mine at 50% in the rear, for both street and track. The fronts are at full stiff - 3/4 turn, which is about 75%, softer on tight tracks to reduce understeer, but they were revalved and converted to double adjustable by Koni (via Paragon). With the compression/bump adjustment, I can simulate stiffer springs, but it really messes things up, particularly in bumpy corners, so I have it set at about 65%. I'm thinking 300# springs would be ideal for a dual-purpose car, but there really are so many other variables.

Ok I went with 180 degrees off full. Which is approx 70%. And whoa it makes a difference, its not a bumpy ride but hell it corners better... the old ones were not in bad shape for their age either.

I have an 86 951 with stock T-bars. I just bought the Koni yellows Part# 8040-1035-sport. Ok, here's the deal, each shock will only accept a maximum adjustment range of 5/4-turns. So, then to get 180 deg. off full stiff, does that mean is that I would set each shock at full stiff minus 1/4 turn each?
