Best TEIN EnduraPro Plus damper settings for ZC32S ride comfort

Level 10 is a useful comfort baseline because it is already on the softer side of the range, but it still leaves room to soften further if the ride is sharp or stiffen back up if the car feels loose, floaty, or slow to settle.

How to set the dampers accurately

1. Turn each adjuster clockwise until it reaches TEIN’s Level 0 reference point ^[2][3].
2. Count 10 clicks counterclockwise for Level 10 ^[2][3].
3. Keep the left and right dampers equal on the same axle.
4. If you lose count, return to Level 0 and count again; TEIN notes that some 16-level adjusters may physically rotate more than 16 clicks, which is normal ^[2][3].

Do this for all four dampers before judging the ride. Starting from a known equal baseline makes it much easier to tell whether the front or rear axle is causing the discomfort.

Tune front and rear by symptoms, not by a fixed ratio

Run the same familiar route at similar speeds, then change only one thing at a time. A TEIN damper tuning demo uses the same symptom-based logic: soften the front to reduce harshness over sharp bumps, then soften the rear until larger humps feel less jarring ^[5].

For a daily comfort setup, keep your first round of testing near F10–F12 and R10–R12 before exploring more extreme settings. A small front/rear bias is fine, but large splits make the car harder to diagnose and may not improve comfort.

Should you use Level 16 full soft?

Level 16 is TEIN’s softest damping setting ^[2][3], but it should not be the default starting point. Full soft can be useful as a short comparison test so you understand the adjustment range, but the most comfortable road setup is usually the one that absorbs sharpness while still controlling body motion.

If the ride becomes bouncy, floaty, or unsettled after bumps, add damping back in 1-click steps. In TEIN terms, that means moving to a lower number ^[2][3].

Bottom line

Set the car to F10/R10, drive your normal route, then adjust in 1-click steps. If the nose feels too busy, try the front 1–2 clicks softer. If the rear kicks over humps, soften the rear gradually. If the car starts to float or bounce, go firmer again. The goal is not maximum softness; it is controlled compliance.
