just wondering...  with stock springs and Koni OTF SA on the 00 MR2 I am trying to figure out a good street setting...

 what are others using?  Obviously between different cars and dampers there's no one answer, but is it full soft, middle ground, or close to autox setting?

I would set them at whatever works best in the rain. It would suck to be going down the highway or some curvy road and get caught out in the rain with a dry setup. Typically, a wet setup means full soft on shocks and I have my Koni Sports set there or maybe a hair up from there at most on the street.

I have double adjustables, and I leave them at autocross setting for compression, but put the rebound at 0.

With stock springs, I always back everything off to zero.

My street shock settings are basically the same as my rain shock settings.

Ditto on full soft.  I run Koni Sports.  If I forget to soften the rears, my rattling teeth on the drive home quickly remind me.  :O

I'm running 1/4 turn off of soft all around for the street (00 MR2-Spyder, stock springs, OTS Koni Sports).  Don't run them at their extent settings (full soft/hard), just turn them back at least a 1/8 turn.

thanks, guys, I've been running at 1/4 off soft, and the car feels a lot better than on full soft...

I run Full Hard front and rear all the time!
