Default Eibach, koni setup what setting for the shocks?

I have purchased Eibach sportline and Koni yellows. The shocks have not arrived so I do not have the INS manual. I was wondering what the setting should be on the shocks. I have read that most people with custom springs go with 1/4 to 1/2 a turn. That is good and all but I want the optimum adj for these springs. Is their no science to the settings? The car will be a daily driver but I would like it to be aggressive. One more question, If you set the shocks to tight will it hurt performance. Is the only draw back a really rough ride on the tightest setting?

i dont think many people have the koni shocks because of thier price. you can get tein coilovers for the same money as the shocks and coils.

My friend has been telling me about this setup. He says it's really good. I'm set on the TEIN Basics but give us a review when the install is done.

I have always used Eibach spring. They have a good tradition and tons of experience. My 79 rx-7 has the same setup and corners like it's on rails. I know that the shocks are expensive but I would put money on this setup, I think it would be better than have the rock bottom coilover setup. It will be a few weeks until I have the time on install it. Will give review and pics later. $220 for springs and $560 for shocks. Total is only $780 and I hope it will handle better than the tien basics. They both also come with a life time warranty.
