do u guys go hard for 4 tyres or hard in the front, soft at the back ?
im on 2/3
harder at the rear.
Different for each brand. Heck, different for the same brand and same model because of manufacturing variances.
not to mention doesnt matter what damper settings u run, if you're in sydney.
experimenting to find the best setting to fit ur needs. generally i go stiffer for the rear, atm with my tein ss, i have it hardest setting at the rear and about 4 clicks lower for the front. i find it good for syd roads and handling,
Thx ... I will try thatQuote:

Just find a setting that feels good. Adjustable dampers are a joke, most people have no idea what they are doing with them.
My koni's are set on "firm"
Isn't the answer obvious? You keep fiddling until it does what you want! If you don't know what you want then you're a capitalist consumer pig. Simple.
Edit: Near max front, max rear for me. I found these settings by adjusting the front slowly up until fast transitions were good, all whilst upping the rear to keep it neutral on turn-in.
on my tein ss im running 8 front 10 rear. its nice for just cruising around
koni yellows softest all round
400/300lbs front/rear springs
205/50/15 tyres front 36psi rear 33psi
comfy for sydney roads :)
about 25-30% front, and 50% rear on koni yellows....but i have weak springs... only about 280/220 (F/R)..... running 40/36 psi(F/R) on 195/60/15.
ride is pretty decent, comparable to my mates stock lancer and mazda3...
Andy yes Sydney roads..suck balls...bottomed out 2day on a bloody freeway...cause of a "road plate ahead "
Turn 'em up already, you might as well have empty shock bodies having them all under-damped on softest setting! :DQuote:

Zeal Function B6 12/8kg Spring rates
38 psi on tyres all round for me, with damper settings 1 out of 6 all round aswell..
only street driving.. haha gets me more mileage with higher tyre pressure
i thought u want the front to be harder than the rear for fwd, isnt it?Quote:

Depends on how you drive, where you drive, how your car is setup, the list goes on. I'm not trying to be a dick but there is no answer. If you were genuinely interested in finding the least under-steering setup, you'd be out driving and trying out the options to see what does what.
F12kg/R10kg, 215/45/17 or 205/50/15, F40psi/R36psi. running on bilstein coilovers/swift springs/cusco upper top strut. abit bumpy on bad roads but i've seen worse lol
Gotta consider spring rates as well.
Maybe your coilovers have stiffer rates at the rear etc.. it's all about trial and error.
softer rear will give less "lift off oversteer"Quote:

when you take your foot off the gas and shift the weight to the front...
its actually more comfy this way especially on syd roads.Quote:
