Default Tein Type FLEX coilovers

For everyone who owns the Tein HA, SS, or FLEX, what setting (out of 16) have you found to be a good compromise between handling and ride quality?

Well I would have already installed them a few days ago, but because of an unfortunate incident, instead I've spent the past 3 days repairing my rear Comptech swaybar. That's finally done now, so I'll be putting in the Teins tomorrow. Looking at the Tein instructions, they recommend you start out at the stardard 8 front / 8 rear.

Here are some pics I took awhile ago.

I'm running 10 all around on HA with 12kg spring up front and 9kg in the rear. Its starting to feel a little soft but that after two+ years of seat time and an over-haul on the shocks.

I run mine on 5 front and rear for normal driving and 10 front and rear when I go into curves. I have the EDFC so I can change it on the fly with my 3 pre-sets .
