Coils

My dad just surprised me with a set of Megan Racing Coils even though their probably not as good as Stance Coils or anything like that.

But i was just looking to find a good setting as you may say for them. I wanna be real low but im not sure how i should set my damping i live down south in florida and roads are mostly smooth, But i know nothing about coils so if someone could help me that would be great !

Set them at 16 and adjust from there softer/harder, depending on what you like.
If you wanna be "real low", I'd definitely go softer.
I'm the lowest I can go on my Megan's without rubbing on 225/40 and probably have mine set to like 10?
Michigan roads suck.

I have mine set to I think 20/20 front rear, but I like it stiffer with no bounce.

Take a trip by me to NY and when you return to Michigan you will love your roads so bad that you will want to have sex with them
