Default ?QA1 settings?

I just purchased a full set of QA1's w/300 weight springs...

Question - what settings do you recomend for street use? Track use? I know every car is different, but I'd kinda like to get some of your opinions to use as a starting point to tuning these things!

Also, I've seen that a lot of people remove the "rear isolators" to give the car a slightly lower appearance...what do these things look like? I should be doing the swap sometime this weekend so any help over these questions will be greatly appreciated!

I just bought a set. I dont have them on yet. But I was told by the shop that is doing it that to run them about 10 on the street. And adjust down from there till you like the ride.

Did they give you any tips on track settings?

I did a search and it seems as though most people are happy with 5-6 front and 6-7 rear for street use...8 on all fours seems to be the limit for a comfortable stiffness...

I should be installing these myself sometime today so I will try these settings and let ya know...I will try to make it out to the track tomorrow but need to know where to set the shocks at....come on guys!

I'm installing mine this weekend, and from what I've read most people keep the front on 5-6 and the rear on 4-5.
