Default TEIN Flex...how many "clicks" are you running?

I thought if you left the coilovers "as is" that they would be at their stiffest setting, hence you would need to click them 16 times in order to have the safest "soft" setting????? Not sure, but let me know...hehe.

Like Manaray I am running 0/0 softest settings. Anything more than that is just too stiff for me.

On the SC430 I am running 6 from the softest setting up front and 4 from the softest on the back.. With the 19's it feels just right.. If I get a front strut tower bar down the line I will reduce the setting up front.. I found 0/0 too soft for my driving style..

Hope that helps!

Looks like my car will not be done until Thursday, so I have to delay the coilover install until then! Argh!

Cruising: 0/0

Hanging flat city streets and freeway on/off ramps with smooth surfaces: 16/12

High speed freeway/canyon carving (moderately bumpy): 12/8

I'm pretty tired of popping the hood and trunk panels.

EDFC is a must have for me.

SOON !
