    new to adjustable coilovers

    ok so just installed them a week ago, love them. seemed ok in the front but a bit off, rear war very harsh. I checked the rear as I have 24 pt adjustables and they where both at 18, so I set them both to 0 in the rear but it was just way to soft, set to 5 and much better maybe 7 will be the sweet spot. checked the front and the driver side was at 6 and the passenger side was at 17 lol, took the both to 0 then dialed both fronts to 5 and drove her to work and felt much more comfortable overall no harshness. but I can hear noise in the rear and it sounds like spring binding so im thinking of extending the rear struts a bit at a time to see if that will handle that. I don't need the slammed look. the car sits lvl as of now, factory it had a rear rake to it so im ok if I need to raise the rear 1/2" to an inch if that would eliminate what sounds like a bit of spring chatter over bumps. any other advice would be great. right now the rear struts are all the way down, springs are not using the adjusters just the stock pads because with the adjusters it sat a good 2" wheel gap, factory was like a 4-5" wheel gap lol.
