Default What settings to use for Bilstein coilovers?

I'm having a hard time getting a good setting with these coilovers (pss10). What did u guys dial in for daily driving (ie, 3 clicks from the left)? As of now, i have the fronts at 3 clicks from the right (going towar soft) and last click to the left in the rears. If I want less boucy, do I go more to the right (soft)? It seems bouncy when theres uneven roads or going over man holes.

oh man, there are so many variables it isnt funny.........

how low are you, what tires/size and what size wheels, how low are you and in the end, ride quality is gonna all be judged by your butt.....

to eliminate the initial bounce, add some preload to the spring.......below the spring at the spring perch, get the funny tools that they came with and turn and compress the spring a bit.....measure what you moved it too and adjust from there.

the clicks - and turns your talking about, thats rebound and yes that helps with initial bump as well, but i think you will find more noticable results with adding a bit of preload to the spring on the coilover...

here's a quick guide from koni on how to adjust the bump and rebound settings:

I don't know for sure, but I think the adjustment on your Bilsteins is single adjustable for rebound, so follow those instructions.
