This time of year I have them all the way to the left for the street (I have the 8/12 set up and GT3 sways). On the track I usually twist 7 F, 8 R to start and tweak from there. If it is a smooth track, I can go a few more clicks to the right. Truth is, pretty tough noticing the difference especially if you are mucking around with other variables like tire pressures and sway settings (mine are in the middle for the sways)

This time of the year (cold), I set the fronts just 3 clicks from the softest.
I leave the rears in the middle all year around.

I'm 1/2 hard on front and 3/4 hard on rears. GT3 bars same idea. Medium springs.

Do not be afraid to try full soft.

Turn the ***** all the way counterclockwise to get soft.

From that point click about 2 clicks (clockwise) at a time until your first filling rattles
loose, then back it off one click and go chase some Miatas.

This set-up will be pretty rough riding regardless of the dampening position but responsiveness is so sweet...much more noticeable on track but even in many situations on the street.

Yes, that's about right. I'm a bit on the soft side of middle on the fronts and 3/4 hard on the rears. Same with the sway bars. My objective was maximum handling and balance in the corners. I did not want any understeed in the corners - if anything, a hint of oversteer. I think I have achieved this. Bear in mind I also have 245/40/18 on the front and monster 335/30/18 on the rears. My car corners in a very balanced manner now when on the edge of traction. If anything, I think I would like to try an even stiffer spring. When driving hard (corners) I think the medium springs are a bit too soft for me. There is definately a balance that needs to be found between ride 'quality' and performance. To me, performance = quality. Everyone is different.

Mike
