What dampener settings is everyone running for the coilovers.

I have 16 settings and running 14 on the front and 16 full dampen on the rear.

[robots]

So your front is a tad softer than rear, right ?

I kinda like when fronts are softer. More grip for me that way.

[robots]

How do you guys set your dampers ? Front / Rear ?

[huddy]

yeah i run softer damper on front to rear...

and yeah it is 2mm toe out on the front

[robots]

So in the percentage of the available adjustments. How stiff do you set your dampers ?

Right now my ones are set in the middle. 50% stiff.

[huddy]

honestly i think it depends on your swaybars and spring rates... and your style... and ride height...some people like it a bit softer, so you can 'throw' the front in a bit more, and the rear harder to accommodate this.

I've previously had my fronts on about half and rear's full soft, with 10kg front and 8kg rear.

after swapping to 8kg front and 6kg rear springs, i've found that the damper is a bit too soft.

I've now stiffened the front damper to about 70% on the front and about. And also because i've lowered the rear a little more i dont have the clearance for the arches to clear my tyres... so i've made them full hard at the rear temporarily - until the rear guard work commences...

it's sort of trial and error - and find what suits the car, the setup, and yourself

[robots]

Yeah. I understand. I run 6kg in the front now and 4 in the rear. I guess I need to experiment more. But I really don't like it all bouncy and stuff. I get it when I stiffen the dampers up. Sometimes its a bit scary lol.

[brada31ke70]

your a good man huddy, not may would give away their trade secrets like that. my buddy club coil overs have just arrived, cant wait to install them and go for a skid, every one raves about coil overs, but it goes good with cut springs at the rear and lowered s15 front springs with s 14 front control arms.

[robots]

I'm also thankful to people who are willing to share.

[huddy]

no worries guys - i know what it is like, so i help where i can - when i need info, i just hope people will help me

[robots]

Yeap. I guess if people would share more, we could save sometime trying things and getting more seating time.
