I don't recommend going any lower than 2. That's too soft on my car.

i went from setting 1 all around up to 5. my car is also dumped too, so sometimes i feel it bottom out on the softest setting.

Drag I have 5s on rear and 3 on the fronts.

For daily driving I tend to stay between 2/3 fronts and 4 rears dependin on my mood.

Any lower than 3 in the rear is bouncy and I feel like a ricer with coilovers with no struts.

This is with 450F and 350R spring rates.

5/5 usually, sometimes 5/4 or 5/3 if the bumps on the cobblestone roads on post get to me. 400/300 springs.

Yea, I meant $450, but I found them for $350 on Ebay, but that seller didn't respond to ask a question so I said **** em, and another place had them for $380.

Here Illuminas are $415, and Blues are only $260...http://www.machiii.net/suspens....html

I just switched from 2-3 in the front and it feels way better. I'm also on 3 in the rear.

I have 450 front/350 rear, I kept mine at 4 all the way around, anything less than that and I would bottom out.
