To anyone with tein ss coilovers, what damper setting are you rolling on every day?

oo revival!

anyways, what settings will cause tire rub? I put mine back at 8's after discovering they were on stiffest 0 (tried to twist clockwise (stiffer) but was really hard, so i twisted 3x ccw, then 3x cw and confirmed it was hard to twist, then 8x ccw again)

I wanted a smoother ride so going more cw will be better for this purpose?

Yup, but make sure not to go past 16 clicks. I put my fronts at 10, but I was too lazy to readjust my rear dampers. It's all on preference.

i put my fronts on 10 also, and finally got the energy to adjust the rears to 8. i drilled a tiny hole on the upper platic part of the seats so i don't have to completely remove anything.you have to really push the leather to the side to see the hole. just stick the key in and turn.

It only takes a couple of minutes to adjust the rears (without even drilling the holes). Just lower the back seats, push down on the center of the side bolsters, and pull at the top of the bolsters. You can then lift the plastic up to stick your hand in there and spin the valve with your fingers.

I even forgot there was a key. Now I wonder where I placed it...

Edit: To answer OP's very old question, I am currently running on 12 both in front and back. I use 1 front and back when I'm on long road trips (or carrying passengers). I used to make the front more stiff than the rear by two settings so that my rear sway bar would have something to do, but now I figure I'll just make everything even and the sway bar can pick up the slack.
