Default Tein RS Guys...need a happy medium

Hey guys...I am installing Tein RS's tomorrow and I'd like to know what a good neutral setup is for a car that's going to be pulling a track day a month in prime months and driven on the street with some frequency, too. (no R compound rubber...mainly ES100's until I progress).

Thanks!

George

Softer in the front than in the back. lol Start them out pretty neutral, take it to an abandoned parking lot and test em out. just dont get caught like I normally do. cops in the church parking lot at 1am.... who woulda thought... thats my luck
The track will reveal more than anything else, took me a couple of autox's to adjust my TEIN's but once you get that majic going you got it!

After looking at their site I can say 8 clicks front and rear. You will probably end up sonftening the front. Depends on how much camber you are running also. tire chalk will be your friend here. Also Im not sure how agressive these are as I have the SS-P's. It takes about 3-4 clicks to make a noticeable difference on mine. good luck

i ran 9 in front and back on 225f/255r street tires. the setting you use will depend on what you have for tire size and alignment.

What are the spring rates? I'd think that's more important than the damping settings.
