Koni yellows!

The Koni yellows and the Eibach springs which I´ve ordered some weeks ago have been installed today and they lowered my Lude for about 1,6" (looking much better now with the drop!!!:D ). My question is how stiff should I go? My brochure says that there are three levels: City Ride, Cross Country and G.T./ Aggressive Driving. I told the mechanic to use the second setup (Cross Country) because I don´t think that G.T. would be really better for a daily driver. Am I right with that or should I make it stiffer?? Please gimme your opinions about that as fast as you can because I´ll go to the garage tomorrow again!
By the way, negative camber seems to be within specs! (at least the mechanic said that to me!!)Thanx!

(The Konis on my old 4th gen Lude were set on "G.T./ Agressive" and I liked it, too!) The question is if it makes any sense to set a daily driver on G.T mode?! For the track okay....but on normal and sometimes bumpy roads.....I´m not sure!

I'm usually about one turn away from stiff on the street (closer to the middle when it rains/snow). All the way stiff when I go to the track/autocross.

Thanx for the comments!

Once the shocks were bedded in I set them 3/4-1 turn in front and 3/4 turn in back toward the stiff side. Works very nicely both daily and track. Tune them as needed from there.:sun:
