I have a brand new set of TI's on my em1 with GC sleeves. What setting do you guys use with these struts? What setting do they come set to from the factory? Car is not daily driven but would like a more comfortable ride than what comes set from the box.

instrument

they are adjustable so you can set them to suit YOUR NEEDS.

mikeycivic

no ****, Im just trying to see what most people set them at, I dont want to adjust drive,adjust drive,adjust drive. If I can get an idea of what most people consider "comfortable" then that will help more.

I like 3 in the back 4 in the front.

wudini

i use 3 all around, but i haven't tried 4 in the front 3 in the back yet though. i've only had mine on for about 2 weeks

if you got a couple inches on your drop and the roads are bad like here in houston i keep them on 5 or 4

When I had them.I used 1 all around.I think that was the softest.

mikeycivic

well its going to be dumped, so 2-2.5 inch drop maybe more the roads are not too bad and since its not daily driven thats not too much of an issue.

When I first got them, I was using 3 in the front and 5 in the rear. I now use 1 in the front and 3 in the rear.

i used 1 all the way around on mine...but what spring rates do you have on your GC's? those will make a difference too.

I have Illumina's with OTS Ground Controlls. I run 3 in the front and 2 in the rear. I crank it to 4/3 for track days.

Man, Ive been through alot of settings. When i first got them i started out at 5 in back 4 in front, then i went to 4 all around then i went to 4 in front 3 in rear, and right now i am at 3 all around

I like a stiff ride but with my s2 coilovers it becomes TOO stiff

mikeycivic

My GC are OTS spring rates as well.

laocivic

1 2 3 all around should b fine for the OTS rates. 5 for track days!!

not exactly

nub

your asking what everyone else thinks is comfortable (whats your setting), mine is 3 in front 4 in back (did that help you?) y not do what you said you dont want to do and pick a setting, drive it, try another, drive some more till you find what works for you (medium well for me, thanks). it take what, two minutes to adjust all four. dont get me wrong im not trying to be an *** but its subjective

3 all around for DD, 5 for auto-x/Solo2 (dropped 2" on GC's)
