I daily drive through traffic everyday so, I'm on the softest setting (1) i believe. Even 1 on this shock handles better than stock so its all good.

 

I have mine set to 2 in the front and 1 in the rear..so when the rear dips down it it will absorb the down shift insted of bounching it its sets to hard. I have kyb/eibachs

 

3 in the front

 

I think I have 1 in the front and 2 in the rears on the streets. KYB/Eibach combo.... supposedly this promotes oversteer which is what I wanted. 3F/4R or 4/4 on the track.

 

I have mine set on 4 in the rear due to widebody issues but had them set at 2 before.

 

Thanx guys,

But i'm getting a bit confused, some are adjusting the fronts higher than the rear and vice versa. I will be driving mine daily, so what would you guys reccomend?
Plus i have a full body kit with 19" Volk rims.

2 all around.
otherwise too bouncy with 3,2 setup on highway.

 

i concur--3 or higher maybe too harsh depending on your daily driving/road conditions. it was for me, and i'm on stock springs still.

 

ok now next question,,,the kyb's have settings 1-4,,,where would the stock shock setting be compared to the kyb settings???

 

1

 

3 front and 2 rear

 

4 all the way around. Otherwise, I consider it too bouncy. I actually drilled 3/8" holes in the metal and plastic covers over the rear ones, and machined plugs to cover the holes. It takes very little time.

I just never adjust them...

That's pretty smart. The rears are a bitch to get to otherwise.

 

^^ Or don't put the cover back on.

Hmm thats odd, 4 for less bouncy?
What springs are you using?

anyone???

1 would be the closest setting to stock.

 

2 in the front, 1 in the rear aka The Shocker

 

i got 3 front and 2 rear, ride feels smooth not bouncy at all

YOu still sucking your pinkey? Ops sorry, Koni's baby to get the better hole shot in the quarter.

Eibachs. It's a good point you bring up. What you want in theory is the setting that will be optimum - settle the spring as quickly as possible. If this were a linear system, it would be termed "critical damping." If the shock is set too tight, the wheel will sloooowly makes its way back to equilibrium. If it is too soft, the spring will oscillate. It is a system response, so the optimum setting for an adjustable shock will be different for different springs. In general, the stiffer the spring, the stiffer the optimum shock setting will be.

YMMV
