i did a gradual increase from 0 being the default setting to +6 front and rear using the worst road around here to test it and settled for +5 front and +5 rear. this road is very bumpy with a few tight lefts and rights and now that its settled in i can use this as a gauge for when im driving not just on straight road but on track as well. im planning a track day in april so will report back with any differences after. oh i took 5mm back off the ride height as i do want to add a body kit by december but where i live there are some really high speed humps.

Thanks, I have to adjust the height again next week , as I believe the springs have settled down and car is slightly more lower. So you dont use softer setting at all for even M1?

i had it on the default setting before i raised it 5mm and it felt too soft. with the lift (5mm) i think the ride is just right and the edfc certainly comes in handy being abe to dial in the prefered settings while driving instead of the way i had to peviously, which was through trial and error in the subaru. sometimes you would spend too much time trying to achieve the optimal ride attitude instead of just enjoying the ride. if that makes any sense lol. in other words, the toys sometimes have too many adjustments that you dont or will ever need. after posting this morning i took the wife out in the car just to tick the engine over and enjoy some sunshine (a rare event lol) and set the edfc to +6fr +6rr and we had a blast with 2/3 tank of fuel and it just handled like a dream on the roundabouts. if i didnt have to stop and could power straight across i was hitting 60 / 70 mph on the bends. just stuck 2 new tyres on the rear and been really enjoying it :)
ps on the M1 im too busy looking out for the old bill (traffic police) to play with the defc lol. it seems fine anywhere between +4 / +6, but bare in mind ive lifted it 5mm above the default setting on the ride height. sway bars next hopefully front and rear :)

thanks for your reply, I will pm you.

What confuses me is there a defualt height as well?

I am using +6F and +8R now, and seems to be alright and when on some really bad roads I go slightly more stiffer not to scrape any bodypart.
