Default Tein HA`s Question

Hello Gents/Ladies,
I just go a set of Tein HA`s and was wondering for those who have/had them,

What`s the smoothest ride setting that you recommend?

Sincerely,
Andre

Pretty much the smoothness is all in the rear. The harder/lower you set the rear the stiffer/harsher it will ride.

I usually keep my rear at full soft (16) for cruising and then stiffen them up for more aggressive driving. If you dont have EDFC something like 9fr/11rr or so would probably be the best compromise

The EDFC is only (relative term) 319 for a new one.

i just got my Tein HAs installed a couple weeks ago. After some test driving heres my setting.

Front: Height 10 rings
Rear Height 13 rings.

EDFC setting 1: 0 front 0 rear for aggressive driving.
EDFC setting 2: 14 front 16 rear
EDFC setting 3: 32 front 32 rear for softest setting.

I don't see too many people setting their edfc for 32 differnt settings...i see most people just leaving it as stock 16 settings.

that's coz you increased the resolution of the edfc. you can set it to either 16 or 32, most people make it 16. your 32 is just the same as 16 of other people. with your setup, 1 "adjustment" means 1/2 click using the ****

I am on the recommended setting of 8/6, which is what I think the instructions stated. Ride can be annoying at times, esp after the winter we had here and all the damn road construction, but car handles like a champ with my other upgrades and Tein HA's.
