Any advice on setting the damper settings on BC coilovers please?.going to go out for an early drive tomorrow and have a play with trying to set them up for road use.

I have been reading up on some suspension set up companies which say for FWD is to have the front soft/med with the rear more firm than the front?.But then others say have the rear more soft?.this is to give the front more grip

Do you think its also best to start from the bottom setting of soft then go up 3/4 clicks each time until you find whats best for you or start half setting which is 15 clicks front and rear then go from there.

"For fast road use, moderately soft to medium front damper settings are generally better than full hard. While stiff dampers improve steering response, "fast road" driving requires the suspension to absorb bumps, potholes, and changing surfaces to keep the tires in contact with the ground for maximum grip."

For a road car I'd have it a little soft on the rear and medium on the front, these cars are not heavy enough imo when firm, makes them bounce about when they hit bumps etc.
I've got bilstein b14 and they are a little soft, but to me it works fine on road, little soft for the track though on the front, many coilovers are horrendous at dealing with uk roads.

Yeah B14 are well suited just for road use.Hard to find a bit of road where theres no pot holes or a car doing 30 😆

Just trial and error,have to just keep playing about till it suits my driving style

I'm having the same issue with mine atm. Currently 10 clicks from soft all around as I was hoping it would help with the bumpy roads near work but it feels s**t. I'm beginning to think I should have just bought bilsteins instead as they were great on my 182. I'm debating swapping or sending it somewhere decent for a proper set up.
