Default Tein CS setup...

What is a good starting setup for this particular system? I am going to have 19" wheels on my car and will be getting everything setup at the same time. My SC430 is my primary vehicle, although I do have a secondary. I am relatively illiterate when it comes to the modification world, so go easy on me.....

Thanks for any advice.

I had mine setup to drop the car 1 1/2 " front and back. I’m thinking about dropping it a bit more in the front but I want to give this setup a bit more time. It's pretty good over speed bumps but you have to be careful with them as well as in and out of driveways. I've tried setting the dampening every which way but I’ve settled at the Tein suggested of 6 in the front and 10 in the rear. For the roads I’m on and the type of driving I’m doing it seems to be the best. You will want to be able to change the dampening settings so make sure to have your installer drills access holes in the side panels in the trunk so you can get to them. It’s also very important to get the wheels aligned after the system is installed.

try to set the dampening to about 12 clicks away from the stiffest setup, i think that would ba e good start for you to get a taste of what's soft. you shoudl like it. i have CS on my gs4 with 20s, and i run 10 in the back and 8 in the front, no complains from anyone i put in the car at all
