What coiilovers do you have

@@chriswatson3238 How do the rear dampers manage with that much spring rate on them? The sale page says they're really only intended for up to ~600 lb springs.

[@chriswatson3238]

@@ch_chone Good question, I asked the same before buying them. 949 said up to 800 is fine. I run the rears at about 15-16/20 clicks (~75% stiff) IIRC. My tuning strategy on the dampers so far is to set the fronts as a compromise between turn in crispness and not upsetting the car too much on apex curbs. The rears are then set to get the desired rotation on turn in. Since the car usually has surplus power, I can manage the exits with the throttle. This is probably a compromised approach (coupling ride to handling) but without a really tunable diff, it has worked okay so far. Overall the current setup prioritizes front splitter height/control with a (relatively) compliant rear to put the power down. I would reach out to 949 on your application, they are really helpful.

@@chriswatson3238 that's good feedback and your method sounds reasonable. Thanks!
