Dampener settings on coilovers

I am getting ready to setup my dampers for an upcoming autox event and wanted to know what people suggested. I am running megan track coilovers with 10k front 12k rear. And the wheels and tires in my sig with -2.5 camber front and -2 rear. Out of the 32 levels of adjustablility what should I be running front and rear. I searched and didn't really get the info I wanted. Thanks again

I'm sorry I can't give you any specifics, but I have used this guide before.

Maybe some more experienced evo guys can chime in and give you an idea. I know that a lot just has to do with driver comfort.

lol, I came into this thread to do just that. Seriously, the word dampener comes from the word "to dampen" or "make wet".

Good lord there are a lot of Philly people on here. I wish I had checked this earlier. If you're at another Philly region event, get Corey, Cy, or Simmons to ride with you and they should be able to figure out if your dampers need to be adjusted and what direction.
