David,

I found 5 in the rear and 4 in the front to be nearly a stock ride feel. At 4(r)/3(f) the car was amazing and not floaty at all. It is amazing how different that one notch can make. Give it a go you wont regret it. Mine is a cab, so you would think the extra stiffness in the chasis would be an issue but I didnt find it to be the case.

Kirby:

What are your thoughts on the new settings? Do you know what camber you are running (f/r)?

Not positive on the camber settings...

4/3 so far is good. The ride isn't harsh at all...it feels like riding in a Miata...Handles really well!

Kirby,

Pardon my ignorance is a Miata what we might refer to an MX5? If so I am impressed the Miata handles that well.

Also I thought you would like the ride of the 4/3 it is more compliant than the 4/4 or even 5/4 It is definately my preferance.

Arthur, yes Miata is an MX5 I believe. It's the small Mazda Convertible.

arthurK, i can confirm after owning 6 miatas that they are also know as MX5, or roadster or Eunos depending on which world market they are in.

and indeed, those little buggers can handle, and often times better than any of my porsches.
