well i have it the same as you....hard both front and rear

- if it handles and goes alrite for you then dnt worry about what settings other people say u should have them at.

experiment and find out yourself. There isnt any noticeable difference between say 0 and 25% damper ( half a turn) but quite so from 0 to 50% etc.

When i had koni yellows i ran 50% front and 75% rear. (1 full turn + 1.5turns)

I used to run at full hard on the street, but tried it at 1.5 turns from full hard and it handled bumpy roads so much better, was a lot more fun to drive.

I wind it back up for competition though.

is it at full hard its beta for hard cornering and the car handles beta?

It is better, but doesn't handle bumps and rough-ish bitumen roads that well, like a lot of the nice roads around sydney. So its actually faster being softer in those cases.

from what i have read, your car should handle better if your dampening rates are firmer at the rear then at the front. This will result in a set up less prone to understeer on a ff.
