Street coilover dampning set up??

Hi guys I recently installed a set of coilovers for my 2005 Wrx and I use my car as a daily and occasionally like to take it for a spirited run. Now the roads where I live are quite bumpy in some parts and I'm wondering if anyone has some advice on what to set my dampening controls for the F&R? I have 36 way adjustment thanks!!!

It depends on person to person sooooo no one can tell you where to put your suspension

Not only that those are chinese coilovers for sure. You probably won't get a decent ride out of them no matter how hard you try.

Just make sure you saved for the surgery.

My condolences. As these are just likely just like all the other worthless budget coilovers you will not be able to fully adjust this out. Some of the poor ride you will have have to accept as part of the purchase. For handling, take it to a performance shop and have it corner balanced. Coilovers are not a set and forget thing, you have to play with the adjustments.

My ride isn't bad with my suspention set up though. And I know I brought cheap coilovers they were a good choice for me for easy install and affordability and been able to change the height if I get wider tires and so on.

And the surgery jokes are getting a tad old on every one of my posts lol but all good

Yeah cheap coilovers aren't the best! But not bad for what I payed for them and the ride is pretty good so far! Set all 4 coilovers on 12 clicks away from soft and the ride is fairly decent for daily driving plus it handles amazing compared to stock suspention. But thanks for the advice I'll have to ask my mechanic about it.

I had it set up already but not sure what dampening setting he chose.

Haha I'm just trolling I know my last name is literally Lade so hence the nick name ladeyboy came about a long time ago.

And yellowspeed coilovers I'm pretty sure are made in Japan as they're factory I brought the coilovers from is in Japan 😁
