    Default How do I set my dampers :(

    I have just bought myself a AW11 great car!

    It came with some after market shock, I think they are KYB (super gymkhana Dampers) They are four way adjustable, but I would not have a clue as to what each one means

    Call 'em by their proper name of dampers.

    That's not really a four-way adjustable either, it's a single-way with four settings. You'll likely be needing either #2 or #3. Just try them and see how it feels - You're only adjusting the rebound setting anyway so it's only a simple damper.
    #1 will probably feel pretty bouncy and #4 will probably feel too rough. Drive around with #2 for a while the #3 and see how it feels.

    pretty sure the kyb inserts are bump/rebound in the one.
    but as bill says drive around with them in different positions till you find the one you like.
    also remember you can have the fronts softer/harder than the rear and it doesnt matter but make sure side to side they are the same.

    I got similar inserts - kyb ultra sr with 4 settings 1-4
    1 being the softer setting and 4 being stiff.
    i would agree with everyone else as thats what i did.. drive it on each setting and find out for yourself. easy peasy
