HKS Hiper Damper

To those using the HiperDamper coilovers, what are the optimum settings you have experienced for front and rear?
I'm just curious to hear from autocrossers especially or those who have "played" with different settings. I'm going to try a few settings and see what feels comfortable. A too stiff than stock TII rear setting seemed too stiff which made the rear too happy.

It's too damn stiff for daily driving!
You know what's going to happen when you fall into a pot hole, right?

I just put a set of HKS Hipermax-D coilovers on my TII, and I have the settings at 4 front and 6 rear. It is really stiff, but seems so far to be pretty flat, and the rear end reacts well. Springs are as follows: 8kg front 7kg rear. Not sure what the Hiper Damper specs are in relation. Hope that helps a bit.

Ha... already have broken 2 diff mount (6puck unsprung clutch doesn't help here). That ****'s been reinforced so it's not breaking now. (new diff mount w/ DOUBLE snubber).
This fricken state sucks *** and we keep putting dumb ***** in office. Why don't we just bend over for them.
Potholes are SLOWLY getting better. They JUST started Nimitz after what....4-5 years of decaying roads?
The fuel cap is going to suck. Dumb *****. Now our state government will control the fuel cost. Let's just call it " The People's Republic of Hawaii".

Thanks fc3s.org. I'll try that. I have all settings at the middle and the rear still gets a little bit happy at fast corners. Whooo boy...what a difference.
