Default Tein Flex Setting

To the guys running Tein Flex, do you find the ride bouncy? What setting are you using? I'm running 8 clicks front and back.

I've ridden in a friend's car with the Tein Flex on them (Honda Accord Euro) and it was firm but not a crap, rough ride.

What are they like in the SC? I've always been interested to know what they ride like.

Had them for over a year in my SC...they ride well...not bouncy at all...Greatly improved handling... Easy to adjust the ride height...Only problem...a slight clunking noise from the rear wheels when driving slowly over uneven roads...May be upper control arms, do not know yet...Some suggested the end links on the sway bars...I changed them along with new bushings for the sub frame mounts, did not remove the noise. Upper control arms are next...If that doesn't work, don't know what else to try. But again, the ride and handling are great...never bouncy. Remember, you can adjust the height in a couple of different ways...make sure you leave enough length for suspension travel in the Coilovers. I keep them set at about the same as you...

What I mean by bouncy is the the rebound is extremely quick, almost feels like an amusement park ride, takes getting used too. I have the ride height set per the instructions, but I'll play with the setup some more.

Thanks for the responses.

BTW, I forgot...I installed the EDFC, so I now can adjust the ride dampening as desired... Of course, I can't experience this until I get my car back from the exceptionally slow welder...
