Hey guys

before i installed the coilovers, my idiot friend played with the dampening settings

... now i'm not sure what the stock dampening was originally set to..in any case I heard u have to break them in, is this true ?

If so am I supposed to let the coilovers break in at the dampening they were originally set to (which i have no idea, what they were), or just throw them on adjust them to any setting and drive ...

thanks

just put it on the stiffest and once you getten used to the stiff ride, go soft. Then they will be broken in

You're supposed to set it on the softest setting and drive it around for a week or so to seat the springs. Then adjust to taste.

There shouldn't be any need to break in the springs. Just set and change them to your liking. The springs seat onece you lower your car and push down on each corner once or twice.
