Should the front struts be adjusted softer or harder than the rear shocks?
I put adjustable Koni’s on my ’96 T-bird which is lowered with 2″ Eibach Pro Kit springs. Aside from it being my own preference, what would be the scientific method of adjusting my front struts and rear shocks to get the “correct” balance going in my favor? Softer/harder in front or the back? I like it on the firm side and have all 4 set identical as of now at a half or 1 turn from the firmest setting. Common sense tells me I should have the struts in front set at least a 1 or maybe a half turn softer than in the rear. Am I right or should it be the other way around?
Here’s the deal. You installed higher rate per inch of spring travel coil springs in your car therefore your front struts must be adjusted to a tighter – stiffer setting to prohibit excess bouncing of the higher rate coils in the front. The rears can be adjusted a touch softer because the rear coils are not nearly as high rate as the front.
You are extremely lucky that you’ve selected struts and shocks with adjustability in the valving.
You’ll know when you’ve hit the correct balance. The car should bounce once only at each end if the shocks are adjusted correctly. Concentrate on the rear end first as you’re setting closer to the rear springs and shocks.
Short choppy bouncing is a tip-off that the shocks and struts are adjusted too soft. Keep in mind that the ride is going to be much stiffer because of the high spring rates.
You should think about adding a strut tower brace to tie the towers together. The uni-body is not strong enough to handle the twist of the high rate springs.
Struts and shocks have absolutely nothing to do with body roll in corners. The springs and sway bars control body roll
