how stiff are your dampers set on your coilovers?
I'm curious as what you guys set your dampers at for those of you who have coilovers with adjustable dampers.
I am running on stance gr+ on my g35, and will be slammed on 20's with aggressive offset and stretched tires. What would you recommend for me so that I don't rub. I already have my rear fenders rolled.
I am thinking about running 100% stiff up front and 75% in the rears.
I can't readjust the rears so I will have to get it right the 1st time before I install them. So they will have to be dialed in correctly from the get go. The front I'm not too worried about because they're easily changeable. But the rears I would like some advice from you guys who are slammed on aggressive and stretched setups, what you run your rear dampers at?

If you rub, its not because your damper setting it off. Your damper setting should have nothing to do with rubbing.

No need for name calling. I was simply stating what other people have told me off the g35driver forum, and a lot of them run aggressive and stretched setups. Grow up and learn to respect others instead of coming up with useless comments that doesn't help nobody.

If you want to make it so you limit rubbing on bumps you have 2 choices. First is to run stiffer springs, 16k front and rear will work with plenty of preload. The other is preload the living hell out of your current springs, then set height with the damper body. Both of those methods will cure you of most unwanted suspension up travel.

As far as what people have told you, you would be well served to not listen to them, or to at least not necessarily take everything they have to say as gospel. In this case, they are either wrong, mistaken, or you misunderstood what they were talking about
Changing the the stiffness of the damper, if the damper is adjustable for stiffness in the first place, does not limit your suspension travel
Second, what others set their dampening to is completely inconsequential, unless they have the identical setup to you, from wheel spec, tire, coilover, etc.
Given that you have posted 0 details about your setup, you're going to be pretty much on your own here unfortunately.
