Default 70F, 60R. Pretty smooth to me. Handles really nice.

Can be a bit harsh under low speeds <45mph on not-so-great roads, but under higher speeds (freeway/highways), it rocks. You feel connected to the road and not harsh at all.

Originally set to 60F, 50R, but it was a bit soft for my tastes.

Default Front full soft, rear 1/2 turn stiff

works fine on road, probably a little soft on track. This is with sport springs and 16" wheels

Default You have to pull all four corners out to adjust. Basically, you have uninstall them...

...take the shock/spring assembly apart, adjust the shock, and then re-install them.

PITA.
