I had them set at 15 f/b and thought it was too stiff for a daily driver. I just set them to 10 and you can feel a difference in comfort.

OP just play with the settings and see what you like. The responses here are going to be all over the place due to different preferences. I have Tanabe's with 12 way adjustability and I run 4 clicks from soft up front and 2 in the rear for daily driving.

I'm running between 15 and 20 clicks front and rear. I've adjusted them so many time I forgot where I actually started, just going by feel at this point. I gotta say, after moving to Federal Hill in October I realized coilovers are not meant for Bmore streets.
