too far north
I am going to be putting Tokico springs and Illuminas on , and I want to know what settings to put the shocks, and struts at. I know it will be a PITA to adjust the shocks if I want to change them, so I would like to set them right the first time. I read in another thread that 4 in the front, and 2 in the rear was good, but I want another oppinion on handling at any other settings. I am leaning towards 4/3, but thats just a guess. What do you think?
 
It depends on how well you like your trunk. I cut holes above the shocks so I could adjust them. If you don't want holes, cut flaps.

I set mine to 3 all around at first. It's a good midway setting. That way if you want it softer...you can adjust it. I like a firm ride to go with my suspension setup, so I have mine set on 5 all around. So try 3, then drive it for a couple weeks, then try different settings.

Whatever you do, don't adjust it daily, you won't notice it as greatly as you would over a week.
