I spoke to GAZ early in the week and the GHA kit comes with 350 front and 200 rear - i had issues with mine as i believe there no happy medium with them but was advised 8-10 clicks max.

On my old rims i ran them completely off damper and the car was fine on the road

Well I tweaked about with the settings today and I'm glad to say the car now drives spot on
They were just set far to hard,
So I softened them fully then gave them 3 clicks in ,
happy days cause the car badly needed lifted at the back as it sat to low IMO ,
Now there s oil leaking from my supra diff
The joys of cossie ownership
