PSS9 guys...what are your settings?

All this talk about PSS9's and suspension, I decided to adjust my settings since mine were a little soft....so I adjusted them (damn it was easy) to 4 front 5 rear....so I am wondering what everyone else is riding on....I was at 6/7 and it was a little soft for the canyons....

4 up front and 3 in the back. you should go stiffer in the back as there is more weight back there..

perhaps the rears need to be "softer" to provide better compression for the weight that needs to be handled back there... going stiffer on front will also reduce understeer...

many mid engine cars use this setup... I recall Mario Andretti tuning the suspension of a ferrari once... this was in car&driver I think.... they were playing with stiffer rear suspension settings and it didn'twork... as soon as they went softer than front the car came into it's own... IMO you need slightly softer damping in the rear cause of all that weight and your putting down... it should be more compliant and handle better than a stiffer rear setting...

my rear end "wiggles" if its softer, the softer the front, the more "feel" you'll have for the road
