Looking' good!

I have one Q, shouldn't the rear perch facing UP, like an "U"? I have contacted Koni many times and they said the front facing down while the rear facing up. Maybe that's why you had to lower the front perch? You might want to look into that.

Nope, it's set up right. If it was upside down, the spring wouldn't even be stable on the perch.

Here's the stock shock so you can see:




And anyway, what would that have to do with lowering the front? I lowered the front another .25" so there would be less wheel gap. If the rear perch was on upside down, the rear would be like 2" higher that it's supposed to be.

is it safe to use the other perches with lowering springs?

Yep, it's fine. In fact the Neuspeed edition Koni's I have are designed to work with Neuspeed (and other similiar) lowering springs, so it's fine. I know a lot of guys on the lowest perch, and don't have any problem. The distance between the perches isn't really that much anyway:


My fronts are set at the perch between the middle and the lowest.
