i looked through some threads but i was having a discussion with some other members and i got mixed answers....i can RAISE my car as well as lower them with the yellows right?
Nope...you can stiffen or soften the suspension, not raise the ride height.

i believe you can, there are perch settings you can adjust. theres a clip that can be place in different height slots , 3 for regular konis, and 5 for the neuspeed konis.
There are differenct perches that you can have them set on when you install them. I think mine had three settings and the new ones have 5 settings. You can go up or down from whatever your spring drop is suppose to be.

yes yes its a newbie question
yes the yellows are height adjustable but only before they are on the car, once on you cannot adjust unless you take them off again... i have them so i would know

That's true, but he was asking about adjusting it while it is on the car. Ground Control Konis (which is what I have) have special perches as well.

so 3 in front and back? cuz i jus wanna raise my car a tad so i wont scrape as much then again, would getting 18s solve my problem?

getting 18's would not automatically solve your problem... you have to take into acct tire sizing and then figure out overall diameter of the tire... for instance im getting 17's but the tire sizing will actually give me a smaller diameter than my stock wheels so my car will ride slightly lower...

225/40s...chinkgai told me that my car would be 1-2 inches higher

possibly.. i dont remember what the site was but you could punch in wheel sizing and it would tell you diameter and how much your speedo would be off by... damn i should have bookmarked that site... Anyone out there know the site?

The only way you can raise or lower your car is when you have coilovers. besides that, the only thing you can do is adjust the stiffness of your shocks (if it allows you to). Hence "adjustable"

The regular Koni yellows have 2 perch settings in front and 3 in the rear. The Neuspeed Koni's have 5 perch settings front and rear.
On the regular Koni yellows, you usually use the upper perch on the front and the middle one in the rear. Since you're already on the highest front perch, you can't raise it anymore. You can still raise the rear by using the upper perch there, but I'm guessing it would be uneven.

If you go to Koni's site, it tells you it can be lowered 20-15mm. That is the shocks not the springs. So the height can be adjusted not just the stiffness. You just have to do it during the install.
You are giving the wrong info to someone who wants to know. I have them and the installer asked me which perch I wanted to set it on during the installation.
That's true, but he was asking about adjusting it while it is on the car. Ground Control Konis (which is what I have) have special perches as well.
oh, gotcha! i think there is a trick to do it while its on the car w/ just the konis. i heard of ppl use spring compressors to compress the spring, and then adjusting the ring. but still its a pain.

same with the neuspeed/koni's? what do you mean same ****? the neu/koni shocks have 5in front 5 rear and stock it comes set at the middle perches.. so you can raise it up two perches... or lower to perches..
