Default '03 B6 A4 1.8TQ Sedan: What is the optimal turn setting on Konis with Eibach springs?

I went from non-sport (nice comfortable ride mind you) to the Koni/Eibach setup and so far I am satisfied. The first week, the ride was bouncy/a bit harsh but over time, with settling, the ride is becoming firmer.

However I feel that sometimes when I go over a bump or pot hole (try to avoid it as much as I can), its still a tad bit bouncy. Its only been about 3 weeks since the install so maybe it needs more time to settle.

My Q is, on the Konis, going from non-sport, what is the optimal turn setting so that its a good mix of comfortable yet firm ride? 1 turn? 1.5? etc.

Thanks!

Did you trim your bumpstops?

Default Then I'd start them off soft.

Rear, probably 1/4 turn, front also about 1/4 turn.

Default I believe its somewhere in the middle right now (soft+firm)

1.25 turn front and back if I am not mistaken. I am trying to figure out what setting people generally have on a similar setup after upgrading from a non-sport...I am assuming we have similar ride quality tastes.

Should I wait longer for the susp. to settle? so I can accurately say what the ride is like?

Thank you.
