Coilover+Stillen Sways

For those have coilovers and sways.
What are your setting for coilover from 1-10 as 1 being softest
What are your setting for sways f+r from soft-med-stiff.

Right now I have megan and the setting are 7 front and 5 rear
Stillen sways are set at med@F and med@R.

The thing is I used to take corner much faster before i have sways and the VDC rarely kick in unless i gas @ mid corner. But now at the same speed the SLIP light would come on.

As for tires I have 275 back and 255 front on 18".

I was thinking set the sway to soft@F and increase the stiffness of the coilover in the rear to 7 or 8. Can some one chim in on their setting and how the car handles. Thanks

I have Tein basic Coilovers. I cannot adjust the damper, only the ride height. But my springs are rated at 500 lbs/in on all four. I have Stillen sways and they recently were set on hard for both. The car is very precise, a little touchy at sometimes, but handles awesome. I too get the slip light when too much throttle is applied, but it stays in check (I also have a Stillen rear Strut Brace that may help with that too).

Megan coilovers are very underdampned. Yes softer settings did give out softer ride motion's. But, it also would give out a whole lot of unconrolled ride motion's that I could not stand. The best I could do to reign in the dampners was to run them 3 clicks off of full stiff front and rear. I bought softer 448lbs front springs, which helped a whole lot, but dropped the performance below the point that I could justify keeping them. For bar settings start with med/med and adjust from their.
