Stasis motorsport question - getting a lot of bounce
I have the Stasis (Koni) motorsports with 700/800 springs. The roads near my house are concrete and have basically become a washboard (not in a good way). With the new suspension the car starts to feel like a boat on rough waters. Adjusting the compression seems to help. But I've read you shouldn't adjust the compression too much if you have heavy springs. I bought them used, so I am not sure what the appropriate compression is. It has twelve clicks and an arrow pointing clockwise that says "heavy". Full 12 clicks toward "heavy" and you get seasick. I am at three clicks right now and it isn't bad. I am thinking of going down further, but I do not want to damage the valving in the shock. I do want to clarify, I am fine with a harsh ride and the stiff springs. The car is great on corners and takes bumps alright. It's just that wavy road... Thoughts?

Dont the motorsports use Ohlin dampers, not Koni?
Assuming you have the Tracksports in 700/800, thats a drawback, increasing your rebound settings to near stiffest setting is the most comfortable Ive been able to attain.

think of it like this, more rebound dampening less KICK too much rebound and the car will start to
PACK and you will feel this after 2-3 consecutive bumps in the road and the last bump will be harsh.
all i can type right now im out the door
one more thing, cut your comp all the way down for starters or mid way whichever you prefer
