Coil over street set up

Ok guys need some input for those running coils that are rebound and bump/compression adjustable (2 way).....I just had my carlssons installed and finding ride a little bumpy on dips on the road. I have set the rebound to medium and the compression medium for front and rear. Any suggestions from those running Bilsteins or kw? Looking for a good ride on daily driving but corner capable. Carlsson sent me their starting point set up but it was probably more for ultra smooth roads like in Germany vs here. Appreciate any input

For the back I run right in the middle of soft and medium and for fronts Its 2-4 clicks softer than medium. I find it is a all around good setup not too hard on bumps but handles like a champ on the canyons.
Good luck !

I'm running kw v3 and I tried to adjust it from the top but didn't feel it made a difference, I need some help to.

Ok I am close, thanks for input.... Front...rebound at 7 clicks from full soft and bump/ compression in middle setting so 1.25 turns (2.5 total). Need to work on rears....thanks for input...getting there...may just bring car to a lotus suspension tuner close by and have them do it....maybe it handle like one after haha. Still need to corner weight tune it if it's even possible but should work a little.

Forgot to say my carlsson are 18 way adjustable from top (rebound) and 2.5 turn bump or compression. Are you running the same or kws.?

How r u guys measuring the turns I can only turn it 3.5x from full hard to soft? Each turn being 360°

Even at full soft it's still hard. Any suggestions

On softest yes but I ride harder for general purpose, it's just I like a little rougher ride

Same here....mine have clicks in place....not sure about compression adjustment but rebound or top adjustment are in clicks. Getting some rear wheel chirp under hard acceleration on uneven or bumpy road....think rears are too hard. Car ran awesome though with 4 people in the car vs me only....weired.
