Default For those with coilovers?

How are your settings?

Mine have a 6 way dampening adjustment currently running a 3 front and 2 rear.

Im asking because i wan't to play around a little more with my settings, but im curious to some other opinions.

i think every brand of coilover would use a different setting. its probably better if you state which one you're using.

I don't understand what kind of information/help you're requesting. Usually, you tune compression/rebound (high speed, low speed adjustments if available) by only changing one variable at a time. I've heard all kinds of recommendations from where you're supposed to start, from full soft settings and slowly stiffening up the settings to starting in the middle setting and moving towards either end of the spectrum. Ideally, you want to tune rebound first, then compression. Low speed settings first, then high speed settings.

I am running the T1R coil-overs. 4-way adjustable and I run everything on the second setting. It is pretty stiff even on the second setting, but still rides very well except for over large bumps. I like the setup a lot.

These recommendations are absolutely useless if the OP is using a different coilover setup.
