im still having trouble figuring out whats a good setting. its daily driven. my shocks are set at 3 in the front and 2 in the rear. about 1 finger gap in all 4 tires. what are your settings? by the way this is on 90 STD (ef).

 

I have illuminas in the front and blues in the rear.

Front, setting 3 is like the blues I had before, 4 for street-soft setup, I run mine on 5 all the time.

 

1 being softest and 5 being stiffest..so you're saying you run yours on stiff? what is the height of your car? about how many finger gaps?

 

i have alittle less than one finger gap...with that exact setup..very nice, GC and illumina...i have the fronts set on 3, back set on 1....you have to have the back soft...or else the ride will SUCK (post some pics of your car) ;-)

 

out of curiousity, what will suck about the ride in the back?

 

I had 3 in the front and 5 in the rear...

 

3-3 but i got h&r sports

 

3 all around in the winter and 5 all around in the summer, i dont know how anyone could go less than 3, when im driving on 3 my handling sucks so much more body roll.

 

isnt 5 too stiff for daily driving?

 

nah not at all for me, i dont even notice it but other people that ride in my car do

 

I have 1/2-1finger gap all around, and at 5 I dont even consider it that firm.... 4 is the softest I would ever run.

<----- saving for koni's

with the back set at firm...it feels like you have no shock absorbers at all...like your wheels are connected to the car with no travel

 

I had like a 1 and a 1/2 finger gap on my coilovers, the weren't gc, they were weapon-r circuit pro's, and I had my illuminas set at 4 all the way around, absorbed the bumps, and dips, and put the power down better than, the spfter settings.

 

wow cant believe some of you guys are riding it so stiff. i would think 3 is pretty stiff for streets already. when i hit the track, i tried 5 and i thought its way too stiff and felt like i had no control. all i did was slide. but besides all that setting, how fast are you guys driving with that? i like cornering, even on streets, so i try to get my settings for street and road race at the same time. i think getting the rear at 5 is wayyyy too stiff and all it'll do is oversteer. right now i changed my settings to be 2 in the front and 3 in the rear with no finger gaps all around. rides pretty good. ill post pix up soon.

 

I drive as fast as I want to go, around tight curves, I can gun it, and not worry about a single tire squeal, on the highway it stays planted at 126.

 

im putting that combo in my car know im interested to see what others have to say
