Coilovers

Greetings! I've got an Apexi coilovers. What do you guys think would be the correct damper adjustment (front and back) for me to obtain a near stock ride? By the way, I think the drop of my car is currently set at 3 inches. Thank you, hope to hear from you guys.

1. you can't drop a car 3" and expect it to drive like stock. I'd be amazed if you could drop this car 3" and have any travel left at all.
2. Suspension tuning is a black art, you gotta play with it.

With coilovers, even without a drop, it will never even get close to stock. The shock and spring rates are way too different from stock for something like this to be possible.

First, you don't use the damper to adjust the height...and then take boiler's advice.
