Default Your Meister Settings

With my coilovers going on in 2 weeks and everything bought and ordered. I think its time I thought about what settings I would use with the coilovers. My ride height is going to be around 3cm lower however I haven't even thought about the comfort settings, nor have I thought about the impact the comfort settings could have on the car's handling, if any.

So, I guess once again I am asking you lot what settings you have and if the comfort settings can indeed be tweaked without compromise.

Thanks!

I'm running 18 clicks (from full soft) front and back, it's acceptable for road use and good for trackdays too, no reason you couldn't run a bit softer though.

I'm on 20 (from soft) front and rear. I went full and it was way too much. When on track I push it up to 26 but for normal road use, 20 is perfect for me.

The recommended setting from Meister R with 10kg springs (I assume the dampers are common between different sets with the same springs) is 13 clicks from full soft. I find 10 clicks is nice for motorway journeys (assuming no load in boot), but too under damped for A/B roads. 13 is a nice balance, with firmer for sporty drives and track work. With a full boot, I usually up the rears by 2-4 clicks.

Is anyone running 8kg / 6kg springs? If so, what damper settings are you running?
