Default JIC Cross Coilover Adjustment Settings

What shock settings do you recommend for the JIC Cross coilovers?

I think I have 8kg Front and 10kg or 11kg Rear.

How many clicks?

I don't recall what mine is set for, but according JIC on proper adjustment is to start full hard and back down toward soft as apposed to starting soft and dialing in hard. I remember reading this a long time ago. Good luck

Just to update this ....

Response from JIC directly ...
- Street front 10~15 and Rear 12~15 (1 is hardest 15 is softest).
- Turn right clock then stop that is hardest. You can turn more than 15 but valving doesn't change.

Huge difference between 1 and 9! With the shocks on 1, it felt like there was virtually no suspension. On setting 9 it feels like a stiff sports car with about 450 and 650lb springs. Have settled on 9 for the street.

BTW .. rear shock settings can be adjusted without removing the heater blower (LEFT) or air box (right) - although it is a tight squeeze on your arms!

Not sure.
I was running about 4 front & 4 rear.
I had no idea how to determine if this was a decent setting or not but I was happy with the track performance and my lap times.
