koni reds setting?

i know the reds needs to preadjust the rate before installation or else i gotta take the off again...

i have a 96 coupe

how many turns on the **** should i do for the front and back? 3 is max. i was told...
i'll be running these on the stech tein springs
and i'll be driving toronto road (incl. downtown)
i'm thinking of maybe 1/2 or 1 turn for both front and back...

what advice should i have?
does it affect understeer and oversteer and stuff like that?

thanks
walter

just put them on max soft man. mine are on max stiff and it's BUMPY as hell. i'm too lazy to take it out so i'm just leaving it alone. esp for the streets your driving on. i don't think you should be too concerned about oversteer and understeer driving downtown because i can't see how you would be driving fast enough to experience any of these issues. if anything just leave the front a bit stiffer than the rear or else the rear will feel like its hopping all over the place. set the car up for a lil bit of understeer to be safe.

When I had my 98 Civic with the Reds and H&R Sports, at first they were on the stiffest. It proved to be a very stiff ride on the crappy Hamilton roads. Eventually I had them set to the softest and it was perfect after that. The car handled and rode very nice.

If you go on the Koni website, there should be instructions on adjusting them correctly.
