2 turns out front, 2.5 back = rebound
1.5 turns out bump all around

 

Looks right to me. Those settings should feel better than stock. Remember that the ride will still be somewhat stiff but again the car should feel better than stock.

 

i dunno anymore, im stumped. i dont understand how this can feel softer than stock. its overly stiff for street use. im considering putting on the stocks

 

Where did you have these coilovers installed? They really should not feel stiff. Have you contacted KW?

 

i had my brother in law install them, certified mechanic

 

Well something does not sound right so call KW!

They are stiff under hard compression but on the highway and daily driving on decent streets, they should ride very well. Since you are in L.A. and since they have so many poor streets with major bumps, you are screwed regardless of what setup you run. When I was over there a few weeks back I could not believe how poor so many of the streets there were. I never really noticed much before as I was always in my CRX or Integra which have fairly soft suspension in comparison but when I took the S

 

i called KW they said something is definately wrong. one point came up tho, on ur rears, which way is the resorvoir pointing? if u put the car in a North south east west, north being the nose...mine is poing south. the car is dropped 2 inches from the bottom thread to the perch on front, 1.5 in rear.

one thing i remmeber doing, when installing the upper bracket to the shock, we pushed the brack down to install the top nut. will that caus anything

 

Everything sounds fine. Your reservoir should be pointing towards the rear of the car.

When you adjusted the bump on your car did you first set the bump to full stiff before backing it out? How about the rebound did you do the same for the rebound?

 

ya i closed it all before i turned it out. the installation is straightforward, its not rocket science, im pretty sure i did everything correctly. unless what im feeling is normal, and the roads are just bad.

if i dont find out wats wrong, im just gonna install the stock setup again

 

You wanna sell yours to me? I will take them
