Soft and hard dial... No homo
 

I just got bc coilovers on and lowered 1 and half inches. Just tryin to figure out how to use these hard soft dials effectily and at what point will a difference be noticed if i put on hard

start closer to soft, and adjust from there until you have the stiffness/ride manner you like

when i had it on my SI i kept it in the middle and it was great.

i had it harder one time and with in 15 min on the interstate my back was killing me.

like @Jesse says you will have to play with the setting to find the best for you, i would recommend starting in the middle

How do i know where its at right now

And thus the problems with coilovers. The only way to get the best setting is to first corner balance the car and then tune them at a track for consistent/fast lap times. For street its basically totally different, get the car corner balanced which may not work for the street anyway. Then spend a ton of time adjusting front vs rear stiffness. The general rule is front slightly stiffer rebound than rear. So near medium/soft for front and a soft in rear. Its guess work for street tuning. The firmer the rebound in rear the more oversteer.

Ill mess around with it next weeekend. Unfortuanatly these are just my winter coilovers so no corner balance so it really just does t matter. Thanks for info

to know, click them all the way soft ( - ), and adjust from there 3-5 clicks up to start

if i remember correctly there are a total of 30 clicks on my bc coilovers i had them at 15 clicks

Yep, there are 30 clicks, turn them all the way soft (counter clockwise) then start counting clicks once you start stiffening them up. My 05 legacy gt i had em set 8 in front and 5 in the rear when i was DDing it, so smooth. Then when i would track it, i would turn it up to 20 front, 15 rear. Can't wait to order a set for my BRZ

Great info thanks agaim

I believe you are supposed to start with full firm and then back off from there. Not from the full soft setting.

Not on BC's, according to their instructions anyway. It says you're actually suppose to reset to full soft before you adjust them each time.

This is because of a phenomenon called hysteresis, and makes perfect sense. Also, soft or hard, it shouldn't matter.
