KTS Coilover Damping Settings

[YellowStarS2000]

I picked up a set of KTS coils since supposedly they're fairly comfortable, but I haven't been able to find a good medium. They're either far to bouncy or far too bumpy, while still having the bouncy feel.

Please post your damping settings for comfort.

Full counterclockwise is full soft, right? So when adjusting the fronts, since they're facing down, I'll need to be on my back to turn the knob the right way.

Did you put alot of pre-load on the front springs?

And as for adjusting the damping on the fronts I just turn the wheel all the way to one direction and stiffen or soften them

There should be no pre-load on the front or rear. I didn't touch the adjusters that hold the spring in.

:P Yeah, sorry that's what I'm doing, but I just was referencing the direction to turn the knob.

As of right now I'm running 8 clicks in the front and 6 clicks in the rear. No preload what so ever especially the rear and the ride isn't bad. I got used to it and I drive about 50 miles a day w/ a mix of freeway and street.

Sounds like your preload is off.

Post up a pic of the coils while the car is in the air.

honestly, i think that's probably just how the coilover is for you on your roads.

excessive preload will make ride very harsh, if the car is riding around on preload instead of on spring sag. but that would take an awful lot of preload.

I'll go double check the preload and try 8/6. Thanks :)

Thanks guys 8/6 feels great!
