I set my new illuminas to 2f/4r and it does really well, I always felt that the rear of the max felt a bit spongy and this helps a lot, 3f is great but it shakes the hell out of the car with 18's-not great for long drives. Anyone else try 2f/4r with good results?

 

I normally do 2f/3r or 3f/4r, I should try 2f/4r or 3f/5r sometime. Not to mention, I've yet to try 4f/5r.

2f/3r feels rather boat-like, although it still handles decently. It's smoother in city driving. 3f/4r is more sporty, although I'm sure there's room for improvement.

 

I run 2f/4r and it's fine. Since I've put my 18x8 wheels on the steering is a little light but otherwise

 

Right now I'm running 5/5 I've only had my suspension installed for a couple of days now, so we'll see how long these settings last. The ride is a little harsh, but it is a lot better than I thought it would be.

I havent played around with any different settings yet, so do they really make that big of a difference?

 

What kind of tires are you running? you may be able to tune your steering to your liking with wider or stickier tires.

 

im running 5f 5r with my eibach springs

handles great, ride is semi-smooth

 

We are twins! I live my Eibachs/Illuminas. Set to 5/5 for now.

Quick off topic question. Do you have any weird noises coming from the rear with the eibachs? If I get in my trunk and bounce, I can hear a creaking noise coming from the strut tower area on both sides. Yes, all bolts are tight.

 

yea. i get that noise too, i dont usually get on bumps but i get on dips...

anyway, i always thought it was my rsb, doesnt happen too often so it does not bother me.

 

Well $hit, Everything bothers me! Must fix!!!

 

i fix all the maxima noises by turning up the music

 

All my noises took about 1 1/2 months to go away. Now I've got 0 noises out of the my Illuminas/Tein s-tech combo. Just wait it out.

 

I just switched to 3/4 for the first time -- not bad at all. This could be happy for me for the daily drive. Wish I could stand 4/5 everyday, but it's too much for my kidneys!

I too have a strange squeaking sound coming from my right rear side, but usually only after going slow over a small bump of some kind. Not sure what it is, but it's not consistent or nasty, so I'll deal with it.
progress springs, btw.
