Koni Rears Just installed have some ??

I recently replaced my KYB's with a set of Koni Reds. I put them on the 1st setting in fear that would be too much. But it seems a little more softer then the KYB's were. also it seems I spin the tires forever with the koni's compared to the KYB's any suggs? What does everyone else have there settings on? Thanks

So why don't you bump up the firmness?? Maybe they're being too cushiony and not planting the rear, even though that should be the job of the springs, the shocks only dampen. I think you've probably got something else goin on... is the car lowered?

have you considered air bags and/or LCA relocation brackets?

Stiffening them up helps a ton. I have mine on full hard and can't spin the wheels at all. Springs help with the launch to a degree, but shocks make a much bigger difference.
