Default Initial settings for Pfadt Inverted/Adjustable Shocks?

I recently purchased a set of the new Pfadt Inverted/Adjustable Sport shocks to replace my OEM F55 shocks. I have T1 springs and sway bars on a vette that sees more track time than daily driver. What settings should I set the front and rear shocks to? Thanks.

I'd say full stiff in the front, and 2/3's stiff in the rear. Drive a session and go from there, then again Aaron and the boys might have some settings for you to use as well that would be better than my guesses.

You got way too many new toys..... I have no chance in hell of catching up to you unless it's the warm-up or cool-down laps...

Khoi, I expect us to be chasing each other around the track next week. I PM'd Aaron for his recommendation on shock settings - waiting to hear back

I'm going to try and pick up a set of these next year. Keep us updated on how you like them.

Just called Aaron. Recommended initial settings at 10 (Front) and 8 (Rear) based on my setup, which includes T1 sway bars, T1 springs and Hoosier tires (315/335) - more track use than daily driver. Looking forward to trying these for the 1st time soon! Mike
