Default Megan EZ Coilover Settings???

So I have been on my Megan EZ Coil Overs for about 3 days now and so far the ride is pretty nice, the first day was VERY rough but once they set it they were fine. Here are some pics of where I am now; I am going to have to raise her up at least an inch because RI roads are despicable. Does anyone have any advice for dampening settings to make the ride smooth but also preserve the longevity of the coil overs? Should I just leave the dampening on the factory setting?

Here was my original post where you can see me arguing with myself over coil overs or springs/struts combo...

Try setting them in the middle and go from there.

Try 7 clicks down from full stiff front and 9 clicks down rear. See how that feels and go from there.

Oh by the way the dampening settings are idiot proof, literally like turning your radio **** up and down. No tools needed for those that do not know.

I have the Megan's with 32 click setting.

I ride the fronts at 16 clicks and rears at 14 clicks from stiffest position. The rear is really loose at anything softer for me. I used to keep the rear at 18 from stiffest and it would wallow on bridge expansions like no other. Whatever you do, make a drastic change to stiff if your not happy with current damping and then adjust back to softer positions (2 clicks at a time) until you're happy with the results.
