15mm drop front and 10mm drop rear would be fine.

Should settle within a day. Drive it carefully.

Damper settings front vs rear...don't think about it in those terms. The front and rear damper do not have the same valving for Ohlins so click 5 on the front is not click 5 on the rear. Same neighborhood maybe. You need to find a setting that is firm enough that the car isn't bouncy but soft enough so that it doesn't crash over bumps. Do your best to separate the front and rear of the car in your head.



Makes it easier to take apart for one, and if anyone ever uses different than standard springs.

Thanks for that, how many customers in the wild do you have with the Ohlins? What are the impressions thus far and do you have any advice etc?
