Buddy Club Racing Spec Damper

What setting did you guys set the dampening to? It's bouncy on the softest setting. Do i have to let the springs settle or is it going to be like this forever?

Are you sure you are on the softest setting? I have the BuddyClub RSD for 8months now, I like it so much. It is stiffer than the BuddyClub N+, TEIN SS, or Tanabe, since it's for track use. However, my front setting now is +6 (total is 16) away from the full stiffness, and the rear setting is +5 away from the full stiffness, and I have no problem with it.

Have you touch the pre-load spring ratE?

It's turned all the way to the left(softest).

Is that the bottom adjustment? I didn't read the instructions. Isn't that for height adjustment also?

I forgot if far left the softest or far right the stiffest. But what I do is before adjustment was, turn ALL 4 knob to 1 side, test drive the car. Then turn ALL 4 knob to the other side and test drive again. By doing this you know for sure which side for softness or stiffness.

After you get a feel of it, start playing with different setting in front/rear, take your car to some rough surface road to test drive, took some fast corner too to see if that's the stiffest you want. Repeat it several times and you will find the best combo. It took me about 2+hrs to test around to find the best setting.

Pre-load spring set is the "extra" avaliable height adjustment if you want to lay super low on your car, but it will seriously affect the ride comfort.

Call Albert like what RBC_K24 said, he can answer any questions you have and provide you solutions too.
