Default GAZ coilover settings

I have just changed my wheels from 19's to new 18" MO's so will be re-adjusting my suspension, was looking for a start point to adjust from. What "click" settings are people using 18's and GAZ coilovers running front and rear. Thanks Neil

I wound mine out to the softest setting and went back in 10 clicks. Happy enough with it. Not like the missus' focus but comfy enough.

I'm lifting mine a little bit too as im getting a bit of rubbing on the arch liner with my new 245/40/18's, think im also going to try one of Mike R's camber kits for the back for all they cost bount to be worth a try.

Whats the facination with what everyone else is running ??

Try something that works for you

Everyone else might live in a street with lots of speed bumps, and you might live out in the middle of nowhere on a fast country lane.

Your hardly going to want the same settings now are you

Change things until your happy, if your already happy leave them

Was just looking to see what sort of settings other people are using for road use, to get a starting point to adjust from as its easyer than starting at soft and adjusting through the range to find a setting i want. I relise that settings will change depending on the local roads but just looking for a start point as i said.
