MPP Comfort Coils NUMBERS ONLY THREAD

[Sudsington]

I believe mine are set at 13/12 front and 12/12 rear. Thinking of still making them softer to increase ride quality. Anyone running them at 14/14 still?

In regards to ride height. strangely for me, my installer (who is local to MPP and works with them), pretty well maxed out my ride height settings to the best possible position without compromising the effect of ride quality, and I'm probably 0.5" to 0.75" lower than stock.

I'm at 14/14 all around and I'm satisfied with them in my area (rough roads in the suburbs of Chicago). I am running my tires at 42 psi though and may drop to 39 or 40 to see if that makes the ride better. If it does, I may start stiffening the suspension to find a sweet spot.

I also had my installer max out my height (no lift kit), but I'm not certain how much lower than stock (for the MY LR) it is. I remember it being a few millimeters lower, but will measure again and share.

I'm going to try changing my ride height to this... still don't like the handling I have with the setup. I'm currently super low... =X.

Yeah initially mine settled super low after install. My mud flaps were like 0.75" off the ground.

Mine went low as well. I think the fronts were around 15.75". I drove 1700 miles round trip to Alabama. When I got back I pulled the front tires to adjust the height up and found the inside tread of both tires worn quite a bit. I'm going to get as close to 16.5" as I can, adjusting next TUE when I get my first chance to do the adjustment.

Currently running the stock Goodyears on the 20" rims. I have 5.3mm of tread depth. About 6.5/32"

Fraction off topic, sorry, anybody found an adapter or way to ajust bump adjustment on bottom of front shocks one is just stuff the other is really, really hard to turn even with shocks off?

 

[Yperformance]

Jesse solved the problem the adjustment wheel was slipping on the shaft, thanks Jess now running 13/ 10 and 11/9 roads are poor quality in NE Ohio.

Are you in NE Ohio? What installer did you use?

 

[Yperformance]

Uniontown, just south of Akron. Did the install myself.

Anybody checked the suspension travel. I only have 2.25 inches including the bump stops.
Running 12/10 and 11/9.

 

[Pianewman]

Yperformance: How do you measure that?

 

[Yperformance]

Remove the springs stacar on jack at ride height. Get another jack push the suspension up till starts to move the car up if the body jack, the distance moved is from ride height to the bump stop being fully bottomed out. So for my model y with coilovers the static ride height is 15.5 inch front hub center to the edge of the wheel arch. When fully bottomed ut that measurement is 13.5 inches.

36k miles, MPPs at 25k miles.

Now on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s, OEM size...255/45 X 19. Decided to try dropping tire PSI to 38, ambient temps around 50f.

Adjusted the MPPs to a firmer setting all around: F: 10/10, R: 8/8.

The softer tire PSI number allows the sidewalls to flex more, dramatically softening the harsh "slap" of concrete expansion cracks.
The firmer compression/rebound helps to control the additional mvmt of the lower PSI tires.

This is the smoothest setting I've found so far.

I just got my Quatrac Pros installed today. 255/45R20. 42 PSI.

I did a quick test drive for a few miles. Definitely seemed to ride smoother for me.

Settings are 13/13 front and 13/11 rear for the MPP Comfort Coilovers.

Nice!! I have about 15k miles and just adjusted mine to F:10/10 and R:10/8 and like it so far. MYLR is dropped 0.5" from stock.

I have a new issue right now, my mudflaps seem to be scraping on speed bumps! So initially, I was supposed to have F: 12/12 and R: 12/10. After I figured out how to adjust the settings, it appears that I had my settings at F: 4/12 and R: 4/10. Once I fixed it back up to 12/12 and 12/10, It seemed ok. About a week ago I started rubbing on speed bumps that I've been going over for the past 6 months. So I tried to stiffen it a bit more to currently to 10/10 and 10/8.

Does anyone know a work around to this, make the compression stiffer, I don't want to raise the car higher since it's just a mild 0.5" drop? I don't know why this is happening now but I had to replace my mudflaps after the old ones sheered off last week, which I've had for 2.5 years already without issues.

Sounds like your springs are settling a bit and your car is riding lower than before. I had the same thing. Adjusting the shocks won't do anything as that only affects the damping. You need to lift the car and adjust the spring perches again.

That does make sense. I'm guessing you don't have any mudflaps if you have a 1inch drop? I guess I could just take them off.

 

[Yperformance]

7000 mls. 11/9. 10/9.

Lol. No, I have mudflaps but I buy them in bulk and keep a few spares for when I break one off. Seriously, I have a problem .

 

[Kelr316]

I have the OEM front mud flaps and I trim about and 1 1/4” off.

Did some autocross, that got rid of the front two. Rears are wearing down nicely, ha
