I need more play time on the dampening, right now I'm at 6.
I figured I'd start out easy & go from there.

I can't wait to do a HPDE in this now.

I messed around with my settings a bit today, and tried 6/5. I drove around with it for about half the day, and didn't like it at all. Seemed as though I could get it to understeer, so I put it back to 7/5.

Is that f/r or r/f?

....normally stiffer front & softer rear gives more understeer

Yes, 7F/5R. As it is right now, with the Hotckis bar set to medium, it's perfect. Really neutral IMO. With it set to 6F/5R, it seemed to understeer.

How's yours handling with it at 6/6? Maybe the difference in my setup versus yours is the stiffer bars?

I've set mine like yours E-ticket. 7F/ 5R and my hotchkis ARBs are in the middle setting, so far so good. Love the way it handles but haven't had a chance to REALLY push it. I'm pretty sure I need new tires soon because my front ones are worn to bits. The rear tires are ok though.

One thing I liked about the JICs is that it wasn't as harsh and as bumpy as I expected, of course it is bumpier than the stock, but no where near as bad as I expected. lol actually the other day my cousin was behind me on our way back from work (he doesn't know that I fit coilovers) but he called me while driving behind me and was like "did you install springs or something" lol, he saw the car bouncing with all the dips in the road

Switched the rear out to stiffest setting today, I'll report back after a few days of driving.

F/R is still set at 7/5
