Damper adjustment
I set them to 5 on Sunday so drove it a couple days like that. So far there is little body roll, but the temps in the 30s aren't ideal to test the limits without putting it in the flooded ditches and going for a swim. I do notice the front end lifts in first under hard acceleration, but after that it stays sucked down under hard throttle. This car LOVES second gear. I can't believe how well it puts the power to the ground. When I saw the control arms and they looked similar to the 07 GT500s I was really skeptical. Not to mention, in cold temps it typically exaggerates the wheel hop issue. I've had virtually zero wheel hop and I've driven it aggressively, but smoothly. It just bites.
I haven't braked hard enough to know how much dive there is, but so far I really think it all feels good. On good to decent roads, setting 5 is totally comfortable. On our interstate loop the roads are really getting bad and it was a little rough, but tolerable. I noticed the same thing on a city street that was in rough shape. But for the most part, I think you could just leave them on 5 if you like a firm suspension.
I agree on "sighting" the adjustment mechanism. I had to get a shop light out so I could see them clearly enough in the garage. Outside in the sunlight might not be as bad.
