I am not quite sure if this is healthy for the suspension or not, but the car rides dam smooth.

I've had the suspension for a week now and I've also noticed the bird-like chirping noise on the softest setting. The softest setting is definitely softer than stock, but I hardly set it to that unless I'm anticipating bad city roads. I normally have them set at 8, which seems pretty close to stock. I didn't mess with the recommended ride height settings though. The drop is pretty much perfect. I also have the EDFC in the middle console. I'm getting an alignment tomorrow morning to set things right, but overall the suspension's great for daily driving. Much better for daily driving than the JIC FLTA2. Those coilovers were killing my internal organs.

when you guys installed the edfc, how did you reset the dampening before installing the motors, I cant remember what the dampening force was set at when they were installed?

I guess I am asking how can I tell where they are set at so I can prep them for installing the motors?
