But when you say "dial in" that usually means you deliberatley adjusted something. Hence the term - dial. In the case of our cars, camber adjustment out of your control. It's just a byproduct of lowering. So I was commenting on the fact that it sounded like ssmumich00 was saying that he adjusted the camber by some sort of alignment process which I called BS.

I have my rear on FULL stiff and front on HALF stiff. The handling is very predictable and you should not have any problems with over steer unless you driving like a bat out of hell around every corner. I drive very hard thru corners and I have to be going ridiculously fast to lose it.
As far as being "squirrely" on the freeway as L8apex stated...I have no idea where that came from. My car has never been squirrely in any situation no matter how fast I was going. You should be totally fine on freeway with bumps.
The reason I have the back so stiff is because of the FWD bucking under acceleration. The stiff rear keeps the weight from moving so hard to the rear keeping the front flat and the front wheels get more traction. Not alot but way better than before.

Take the knob out, put it on the top of the strut, and twist it either left or right depending on whether u want it soft or hard. Pretty simple. Peace.
