Default Tein RA setting help.

Hi all,

I recently installed my Tein RA coilovers. I have them on some retarted setting that I don't even know if it's good or not. I have Mugen MF10's coming in the mail in a few days and am hoping to get some advice on what height and stiffness I should put the Teins on. My car is a aggressive street driver, with some Auto-X. Ride comfort is nothing to me, I don't care how stiff it is. My tire size will be 215/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear. What height should I put the front and rear on for the closest thing to a neutral handling setup? I don't want any oversteer. If I have the shocks set on the stiffest setting, how many notches should I take the front and rear back? I'm also concerned about high speed stability. Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated.

Well, I installed my teins a month ago and had the recommended setting for about a week. It was too soft for me so I firmed my front wheels by two or three clicks and its more to my liking.

Well I was gonna do the settings Tein said also, but isn't that for 16 inch rims? I'm confused on what I should have it on with the 17's.

Well, I'm getting 18s within a few days, so I'll probably have to change my settings again.
