Default Rear sharkbite coilover settings.

For those with rear sharkbite coil over system installed.

I just finished installing mine and before I get it off the lift I was wondering what setting you had the shocks at. I know I will be making adjustments but am just looking for a starting point. Thanks

If this Company didn't pre-setting shock settings, then they suck!!!!! My guess is they did, and maybe a click in one or the other direction would be all I would expect, based on car weight. Naturally the collars are a different story, as you have to install them and set ride height.

as far as I know, no company presets their coil over settings. Everyone sets them to their own liking and purpose. The come set at zeros.

I'm at 3 clicks compression and 4 clicks rebound. I try and match it to the front which are single adjustable so that they seem in sync.

If you go too high the rear end will bounce like a lowered Civic LOL.

I started at the softest and worked my way up. As above I ended up at 3 or 4. It starts getting pretty intolerable after that lol.

Not much love for this system around these parts. I like it on my 75 bastardo that much I can say.
