If you are really tuning for handling, then dont lower the car more then 1.5 inches.... the struts on this car have a very low amount of camber gain when they compress, and lowering the car too much will reduce that gain... go to far and you run in to camber loss as the strut compresses.

any ways, for settings of the dampers, its pretty easy. Simply soften the end of the car, front or rear, that you want to have Stick more. and stiffen the end of the car you want to have Stick less. Typically, you'll see more FWD cars with soft damper valving on the nose and stiff damper valving on the rear.
