Carlsson Springs with Koni Yellows

Anyone else with this set-up ?
I've noticed that the car is a lot less "jumpy" with a 3 or 4 persons (including driver) load ie. more comfortable ride / seems to soak up road unevenness / humps / depressions better.

When there are only front passengers / or driver only, the car seems to ride worse.

The Koni yellows are currently set at the softest for both front and rear. I'm not sure if it's due to the softer reciprocal damping at those settings - if there is such a thing.


I've searched the thread and it seems that the Carlsson springs are amongst the softest ie. comparable to stock ride as some of the members have attested.

Anyone with Voigtland springs + Koni Yellows set-up ? ride feel ?

Thanks for your help.

Cars with stiffer suspension almost alway ride better with more weight in the car.

Lynn,
I suppose I'll have to put in heavier subwoofers then
Anyway to compensate ? Harder settings on the Koni's ?
Softer lowering springs ?

Thanks for your advice.

LorinserCClass,
In Singapore - from the main dealer of Koni here.
