I think you should just adjust it to the settings you feel comfortable with when they are installed. Everyone has their own preferences. The fronts will be easy to adjust, but the rears will need the back seat to be removed...so maybe you can test them before the seats are back in.

yup. i don't really think that s the best way for handling but it rides nicely and seems to handle regular driving much better than stock. it's not like i autocross it...

That is a good idea. What setting did you have it on your car?

Nobody recommends the same on all 4 corners?

Looking for decent handling (considering it is a boat of a car) and good freeway cruising. Compromise

Need to know before Friday

You are right, I have other auto x cars. But a car that can take some rear passengers, yet be fun on the twisty roads, would you recommend the same setting or change it up?

so far i've enjoyed mine where it is. i might stiffen up the rear just a bit more next time i have that kind of motivation. you'll be better off too becuase your tires are the right size for your wheels, not stretched like mine.

most of the time the front is stiffened because the LS is so front heavy....

keep the front stiffer than the rear....
