man..your asking the WRONG person
i hate them.
not good for WHAT I DO
but for street and such, they are fine. quite comfortable.

settings?
one thing to note:
when raising lowering height, make sure that the SPRING perch moves at the SAME TIME as the shock height.

also go clockwise to be hardest setting. start at hardest (0)
then go counter clockwise and count clicks. dont go past 16

for street go about 10-12 clicks
too soft wont match springs-bouncy ride

go to tein.com
and

http://www.tein.com/ti/tnissan.html

you can get the english directions there.

good luck.
but dont ask me about my teins i hate them. im probably the only one. too much of a track whore.

im getting new coilovers in a couple months
