Mine's a bit stiffer so I don't rub, and I'm dang near touching my fenders on all 4 sides.. I'd say start w/ the siffest setting and then back off of it, till you get to where you want it..

mine is a little squirrely right now too - I need to tweak it up and possibly go a little stiffer, not sure.

just go stiffer damping in the rear. There's no weight back there really...

yea, mine are far from being 4 clicks in the rear...i just haven't had the time to mess with them recently. i really need to find the time because it is really starting to bug the crap out of me when i hear the bumping and clunking in the rear.....ugh.

I think we need to make sure all the struts are completely tight. Ive seen and heard a few of the mdu struts top nut not being completely tight. I have no noise comming from my rear. It just sux on coupes that you have to drop the entire strut to change the dampening in the rear. I just have to drop down my back seat

agreed, you definitely have it much easier than us coupes. and because it's so much harder to adjust the rear it really makes me want to get it just right so that i don't need to mess with it anymore.

mine's doing it in the rear.. It's just the top nut.. That's all it is bro.. sometimes comes from the vendor loosened.. you just have to consciously tighten it and it's all good.. I want the rear a little stiffer as well so will get it all done at the same time.

You can always cut a hole in the body, so you can access that top nut. Nobody will notice, just cover it up w/ some duct tape.
