you want more comfortable than stock springs/struts?

if so, here is what i did. follow instructions, and turn all valves to hardest setting. then from there:

front/rear:
rebound - 9 clicks open (this should be what comes set from the factory)
compression - 1.5 turns open (this is a half turn softer from factory)

try this first, it should be relatively softer than the factory settings. if its not soft enough, open the rebound 1 more click open. as for the rear being higher than the front. its not necessary...but i have my rear maybe 1-2cm higher than the front, i like the aggressive look




on topic with the thread, im running the following:

front:
rebound - 8 clicks open
compression - 1 turn open (factory)

rear:
rebound - 7 clicks open
compression - 1 turn open

i figured, the stock nismo setup has a stiffer rear, so i adjusted it to be similar. sure enough, ride quality is definitely on par with the stiff stock nismo suspension, ill probably soften the rebound back to 9 front, 8 rear
