What settings u guys for Bilstein pss coilovers?

I'm having a hard time getting a good setting with these coilovers. What did u guys dial in for daily driving (ie, 3 clicks from the left)? As of now, i have the fronts at 3 clicks from the right (going towar soft) and last click to the left in the rears. If I want less boucy, do I go more to the right (soft)? It seems bouncy when theres uneven roads or going over man holes.

In the coilover sticky, the OP suggests a setting of 5 or lower for best ride quality/driveability.

Do you have aftermarket sways?

If so, what are your settings F/R?

In any event, set them to full soft. Sorry I cannot remember if 9/10 was full soft of if 1 was full soft. Easy test is to simply push down on the bumper, you will be able to tell which setting is full soft and which is full stiff.

The rear dampers were the most sensitive, the closer you got to half settings from full soft the steeper the downward slope for ride quality. Past half way and things just get much worse. Front's weren't as bad, but you still definately don't want to use settings higher then 5 their either.
