    From the perspective of a Model Y MPP comfort adjustable coilover owner, I'm a bit jealous of your symmetrical adjustment settings (ex. 12/12 front AND rear / 12/10 all-around)

    for comparison, MPP suggested settings for Model Y vs. approx. max number of turns to full-soft are:

    front

    compression (bottom adjustment): 12 / 14
    rebound (top adjustment): 12 / 19-20

    rear
    compression (bottom adjustment): 10 / 13
    rebound (top adjustment): 8 / 20

    represented a different way:
    front 12/12 (compression/rebound turns from full stiff)
    rear 10/8 (compression/rebound turns from full stiff)

    a little bumpy for daily driving with my family, so I'm currently at the following but likely will tinker with it in coming days:
    front 13/16 (compression/rebound turns from full stiff)
    rear 12/12 (compression/rebound turns from full stiff)

    Had my local shop drill just above the damper housing and they gave me a rubber grommet for it. Works like a dream to not have to remove the frunk housing each time!

    Spent some time dialing in ride height a bit today, I took the center caps off and used a tape measure to hook into the top of the hub and measured to the fender from there. With the Performance wheel design I put it in Tow mode and rolled it back and forth until it lined up to get a uninterrupted vertical measurement. Also took the time to change to 8/10 on all the dampers and took it for a quick spin on some back roads. I giggled a few times. Getting it aligned Tuesday at my buddies shop, didn't get any of the rear arms but need to 0 out toe.

    Awesome, enjoy! I am running 12/10 right now during the winter since I won't be carving any roads anytime soon.

    Coming from a C6 Corvette with Z06 shocks and a C7 Corvette Z51 with magnetic ride set to sport 99% of the time even at 10/8 it doesn’t feel any worse than either of those. I’ll probably go back to 12/10 between events for maximum Wife Acceptance Factor but enjoying this for now.

    I def need to get those holes drilled for the front rebound. Got some grommets coming tomorrow, just gotta see if I can line up the drill right :p. Was able to get to front compression with the wheels turned (my fingertips hate me) and the rears slightly jacked up with wheels still on.
