Yes so when there is weight transfer the tires get pushed into the ground. Also the fronts should be looser to allow full weight transfer, along with the sway bar out, or unbloted on one side.

I have had mine set at 7/7 for daily driving which handles amazing with my Eibach Sportlines. I'm getting an adjustable panhard rod Monday so I'll play around with it a bit more.

Going to the track tonight settings at 1/4... I'll let you know how it works out.

I have mine set on 5 now for DD. But they are just about shot now too. I would not recommend them at all. I bought my car with 28k miles and now has 30k and they are shot. I dont know how long they were on the car but if you figure the whole life thats only 28k by 29 they were shot.

When i first got them on, i went a little crazy and tried 8 in front 8 in back...
needless to say they didnt stay on that setting long! on bumpy roads it will blow your stomach out its soo rough! Now on a flat piece of freshly paved road, it was orgasmic, but how often do you get that?

I then went down to 6in rear 4 in fronts, and i still think its too rough for around town driving.

now im on 4 in rears 3 in fronts and i love it for day to day driving. its still stiffer than stock but tolerable. i would venture that setting them on 1/1 would be just a hair stiffer then stock but pretty close...


for the track i put the rears on 8 and the fronts on 2. I love it to death! it plants the rear tires and the nose lifts nicely!

That's ok - I was just wondering if your car was lowered, if the lower ride height maybe has something to do with them wearing out faster than normal. I'm seriously considering a set for my car with Strano springs. I don't have the money for top-of-the-line adustable drag shocks, but figure these are better than stock.
