Setting for stiffness on my B16 suspension for track
I recently purchased Bilstein's B16 suspension and I will be running it at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA next week. Im wondering what would be the best setting for this track when it comes to the stiffness / softness knob on the coilovers for this specific track? (1-10) The track has a half roval banking which then turns into a circuit. I am also running it at the lowest setting with apex wheels paired with the M performance BBK.
Thanks!

Typically I like setting things only as stiff as I need so that the tire has max grip. Setting things really stiff can feel good initially, but overall grip is lessened. You'll probably run a higher setting in the front than rear since the B16s have a really high front spring rate relative to the rear.
My guess is the front will be somewhere around 6-7 and the rear 4-5. You can tune it on the street and that should work on the track. The ride should be controlled, but not harsh. If it gets harsh, you've gone too stiff.

How did these fare for you on track? About to purchase a set. Wondering about camber up front since these use the oe top hat.

Edit: their product pages for the F30 now show new part number BMS MU00, while the old PN was BMS MP00. Apparently the new version supports RWD/XDRIVE F3x/F2x ANNNNNDD G20/21 https://ohlins.eu/en/products/packag...lete-kit--264/ I'm going to cancel my B16 order with the shop.
