Help with Koni Sport Shock Settings

Getting ready to install new Koni Sport shocks and Eibach springs. Luke at Tire Rack suggested softest setting for front shocks and one click above softest setting for rears. Anyone with a W202 have real world experience with these?

By the way, Luke provided excellent service.

Luke made a good suggestion. The only down side is having to take them off if you want it a bit stiffer(assuming you didn't get the ext. adjustables).

Got it. Dont really want to mess to much with the ride. The Eibachs should flatten out the dips in the turns and stiffen just a bit. I am guessing that the Koni's at the softest setting are at least as stiff if not a bit more than OEM. My quandry is with the stiffer setting for the rear. Is it a traction issue (keeping more pressure on the rear wheels?)
