I think 8-10K with OEM/mild sway would probably work pretty well too. It's a real fine line with the rear, a little too soft and it turns into a mush ball like in your first video, a little too stiff and the car will try to kill you(like mine has been doing for the last 5 months).

Basically just use the dampers to artificially make the car as stiff as you can, but when the rear is too stiff, it will let you know right away! I haven't really found a "too stiff on the front situation" yet, I am at 12K front full bar, and it's about the stopping point for me due to valving and daily driving.

In terms of suggesting a setting though, start soft (even though it is already soft) on the dampers and just keep adding clicks. Better to start off in mush land than it is to crank them down and make the car unsafe. Then again, you guys don't have to worry about walls and other cars so some of the safety issues don't exist.
Thank you. Appreciate the input. I'll def remember that. My two events on the koni were in borderline freezing temp. So as temps warm up and goes to 80-90s in July, I may have to re configure konis. As of right now, car def turns. I don't know if Eibach is doing most of the work or konis ... we shall find out soon

I used harry's lap timer for datalog. XGPS160 for faster gps refresh rate and used GoPoint GL1 connected to OBD to iphone for RPMS. It works 80% of the time. I'm saving up for Aim SOLO DL

Interesting stuff Jeff. So what would you do (if you really wanted to) to get some more grip? soften rear konis?
