tein ss setting

I have tein ss and want a smooth daily driver setting. What would be the smoothest setting for the damper?
Thanks guys.

The softest damper setting is 16/16 or 32/32 depending on how your EDFC is set up

You can change that to 32/32 in the menu of the EDFC. It's basically 1/2 turns instead of full turns on the clicker.


Anway I drive a lot and ride around at 4F/5R but thats on the stiff side and I'm used to it. I've found that 10F/11R is the softest setting for a lot of bumpy street driving.

Also, it seems that adjusting the rear has much more of an impact on the ride quality than the front.

I forget what I was set at, but its soft 14 in front and stiff in the back. My friend who knows much about cars said that it would be a good ride. In my opinion, it is still too bouncy for the price that I have spent on the Tein SS. When watching my car rolling driven by a friend over bumps it bounces like I have cheap springs or coilovers. So I know a lot of you guys have Tein SS so just wanted to know different opinions. THanks.

I have EDFC so I can change on the fly but most of the time I keep it at 16/16 on mine which is the softest setting.

I dunno I never had more than 2 people in the car since I got it. Seems smooth enough, I should play around with it some more I guess.

I set mine at the firmest setting then adjusted them to the center setting and it rides/handles great. I lowered my car about 1.5" F&R and also have the Progress RSB on firm setting. Corners like its on rails now.
