So last week I had some family members who were in the neighborhood which I ended up lugging in my car a few times while they were over. Normally it's just me in the car and one other person but this time they were five people in the car including myself. My first and only worry was the car being even lower with all those people in it. I did not have the time to raise the vehicle up so I figure I do something. I ended up adjusting my dampening to FULL stiff. I can't really say if it helped or not but there were just a few times were the UCA hit my wheel well pretty hard. Anyways with that said, I still have not adjusted my coils to the level I had it before so I'm still at full stiff. I may go back to my previous setting but I'm getting a feel of driving with the dampening set to stiff. So I want to know what you guys with coilovers have your dampening set to. I'll start off:
BC Coilovers w/ Extreme Drop Kit (30 level dampening)
**Currently 25F/30R but normally 21F/12R
BC Coilovers w/ Extreme Drop Kit (30 level dampening)
**Currently 25F/30R but normally 21F/12R
Adjusting the dampers won't do much for bottoming out. The adjustment **** is only for rebound, not compression. Even if the coils allow compression, changes it's not a good idea to rely only on the shocks for that. That's what stiffer springs are for.

Yeah... I just felt the need to do something even though in the back of my head I knew that only adjusting the dampening was not going to help much or not at all period. Time was not on my side that day so raising the car was not an option.
