Default apexi n1 coilover

for daily driving. people who have this can you please list yours?

i want it to ride as close to stock as possible and than stiffen it up when i go autox later this month.

what are some good alignment specs to align the car? i dont want anything aggressive, just normal stuff, still on stock rims.

Unless you want to swap springs, you won't have a ride very close to stock. Springs are the primary determinant of the stiffness of the ride.

Adjusting dampening will allow you to "smooth" out the ride, but it will still be stiff.

When dialing in your suspension, you should start with your damper at the full soft setting. Than gradually increase dampening until the ride feels smooth (ie. not bouncy).

From there you can tinker with it at autox.

hm..i read in forums before about cilover overs that you should never ride on full soft or full hard? they recommended one click from soft or one click from hard.

but i will go with your method of driving around and adjusting it.

anyone have these and recommend any settings?

get some swift coilover springs if you want the ride to be smoother. I'm on 14/14 swift springs and apex coilovers, and im happy with the setup.

i have the apexi n1 circuit pros. they come with 16/16 spring rates. itz not exactly what you want for DD. but if you also track you car like me then its fine. the compression very good.. i dunno what else to say
