Default D-Spec Settings

I got my d-specs (as well as the rest of my suspension mods) installed on Friday and I haven't had time to experiment with their adjustability yet. Just curious what settings everyone likes for daily driving, highway, track, etc...

Congrat's. I just got mine finished yesterday... along with eibach pro kit, adj lower control arms, upper control arm, adj pan hard bar.

Right now I have mine set three turns from firm on the front and back. I'm going to try adjusting more this week. This is a little too stiff for daily driving I think.
I'm curious what others have their's set on as well.
Here is the before and after pic. http://picasaweb.google.com/peteway/...eAndAfter71407
also, I had roush rear springs on in the before pic which is why there wasn't much difference.

Good stuff - right now I've got all four corners set at the default 5 turns loose. Even at this setting, the car's improvement in handling is very impressive (though I'm sure that the springs and rear sway are responsible for that as well).

The guys at the shop suggested spending some time tweaking the settings and hitting a highway exit ramp repeatedly to see what works well. I did manage to dig up this thread with a few suggestions...

I can't remember if I have mine set at 2.5 front and 3.5 rear or 3.5 front and 4.5 rear. But it's stiff...The way a Mustang should be.
