Default BC Coilovers

During my commute to university I face some of the most horrific bumpy and potholed roads London has to offer.

I get so annoyed by being chucked around everywhere in the car it usually makes me want to drive the S into a wall, I really must look like a ragdoll inside.

So I decided to put the coilovers on their softest setting today, before I did they were turned 7 clicks towards hard from 0 (0 = Softest)

Should there be a difference in ride comfort or is it pointless changing it ?

There's a huge difference between softest and hardest settings. Just adjusting my back end from 15 to 7 gave a very noticeable change in firmness (and grip)

Well after my horrific moment last night ultimately having it on 0 wont mean the car will be a total mess will it ?

I guess thats what I'm trying to find out, the comfort is something only I can find out tomorrow.

It will be more bouncy as dampning and reboud rates will be slower

I think 0 will be a little too sloppy IMO turn them dial 3 clicks at a time until you find a setting you're comfortable with...
