I followed the Wizard's advice and set them to 2.5 turns each which (to me) seem right for street. When I removed mine I found each one was set differently. They ranged from 0 to 5 turns. Incredible.

Set my fronts to max and my rears to even softer from memory 2.5 turns and I thought the back could have been softer to introduce some oversteer.

Fronts are a bit of a pig watch yourself or try a set of hydraulic coil spring compressors

Hi baz,

I set my rears to 2,5 turns , way too bouncy for my taste. I would stay below that.
Front are 3/4 stiff, seems ok.
