What setting for my Tokinos?

They are being installed this week. As I understand it they are not adjustable once they are on the car. What should I have the techs set them at before they install them? I also have Comptech springs and Sways going on. I want the car to have a nice smooth ride still.

Thanks!

I imagine he means his koni or tokico shocks...
it depends on how still you want the ride to be...harder is better for cornering, but too hard is rough on the butt...

I would recommend setting the rear a little stiffer than the front because it's much easier to adjust the fronts when the car is back together...

I have my rear set at about 3/4 full stiff and the front at about 2/3 full stiff...works great and I have no complaints...

O.K. I meant tokico. I am not the best speller.

So the fronts are adjustable when on the car? So I will have the rear set to 3/4 the way. Is the best setting?
