So far with my setup (again, I have Neuspeed Race Springs/Konis) I have
never had an bad experience with the shocks at full soft on streets. A
few times when my son set them at full firm and he knew I was going on a
100+ mile trip and he knows I never stop til I get there, sure, a bit
uncomfortable. I use a full turn on the fronts because I like the
dampening effect on I-8 which had a dolphin section of road.
Boingy-boingy-boingy. Every car I have ever driven in on that section of
the road has the same feeling. I thought it would be worse with my setup.
Not so, to my suprise. I didn't even want the Konis to begin with, the
Potterman kinda made me get them. Im glad I have them now!

For somebody like me who autoxes as often as I can (afford to) and also
does some hearty driving on some vacant streets, I adjust them as my
driving requires them to be adjusted. I have 2 basic settings I use and I
adjust from there, depending on the course and how the car feels. I try
and fine tune the car to handle at its peak so I can get me Another one
of them trophies! (HEY! ya gotta have SOMETHING to show for all the dough
spent on the car, right!)
