Bc coilover help

I have 16/12 spring rate i suppose so thats what i requested anyway been rolling for about a year in dallas this is without the swift spring upgrade. My ride seems to be getting more and more bouncy i have played with the damper adjustments like crazy but sometimes cant tell the difference should i turn towards hard or soft to get less bounce seems to bounce to me either way HELP.

I have had to clicker firmer to get rid of the bounce. But I think the BC coilover system are just not that great.

I follow figs recommendations of adjustment for track and city use

9 clicks out on the front shocks and 12 clicks out on the rear provided an excellent canyon/track setting while a more conservative

20 clicks FR and 25 clicks RR was a more suitable ride for a daily driver.

...and they are perfectly fine after 2 years.

Make sure you are adjusting from the bottom setting up and not from the top setting down.

I have messed with the settings enough. I should not have gone cheap and just went for the KW V3s.

They're really not bad coils at all for the price. If you're not tracking these will do just fine. I decided to spend the $1500 I saved from the KWs on a JoeZ exhaust.

Check it. Make sure it's set to the correct specs. I have a bit of experience with BC and that seems to be the issue about 90% of time.

Just picked up my IS F this past Friday and I love it! Looking forward to all the knowledge of the platform here.
