Adjusting perch on Koni Yellows?

I just got these installed today, and car definitely feels firmer than before, even on the softest setting.

Problem is, I want it lower. I read that you can adjust the perch to make it lower? Can you adjust the perch without removing the shock?

No, you can not adjust the perch without removing the entire assembly. It is not meant to be an adjustable coilover system.

No, you are not suppose to lower it using the perch. The lower perch is meant for Euro-spec Accords. The recommended position by Koni is at the middle position. Your ride should get a little lower as you drive over time. If you still are not satisfied, then get springs with a larger drop.
lower perch to be used with OEM springs only, otherwise you will kill struts very fast.

as TR-D said, you have to remove struts and take springs off to lower perch.
Awww shit, can anyone point me to the link where it says that? I can't find it on www.koni-na.com
hey, what springs do you have on your car right now?..
i am thinking about getting koni yellows too...

is the car even a little lower with the new struts?..i was thinking about getting the yellows and setting them on the lowest perch...

as of now i only have sportlines on my car and i don't think they are low enough...
if you don't trust us, you can e-mail Koni and ask them.
Not saying I don't believe you, you're probably right, I just don't want to believe, you know what I mean :)

This is what it looks like now:

superdx it looks GREAT!

What springs are you using? from that pic looks like you practically have no gap. That's how my car looked when the shop installed mine on the lower perch by mistake (using pro-kits).
it looks good,just leave it...as for konis..my bro adjusted, he doesn't care tho..hahaa...

by the way, NICE RIMS...

yeah, u have to take the whole assemble out....to adjust it.
thats an awesome drop man, you dont wanna go any lower especially if you're getting a kit. I have the neuspeed sports with a xenon kit (sedan) and i scrape everywhere I go....
hehe... see... it looks damn good, I can't bear to raise it back up! :(

I'm going to take the risk and leave it. I'll just buy coilovers if Koni won't replace the blown shocks.

I think i am going to do the same hahahaha... what springs are you using i have eibach prokit and i am going to put my konis down.... wonder if iwill need a camber??
u proabbly would need one cuz it would lbe liek a 2 inch drop
I have a *slight* camber problem in the back, a bit of toe. Apparently an alignment will fix it right.

A question: I was taking my car to 150 km/h on the highways, and over rough parts I was bouncing like crazy. If I adjust it stiffer will that reduce the bouncing?

actually making it stiffer makes it even more bouncy
