Desert drives and speed bumps: the coilover setup guide

Ride height, damping clicks and tyre pressure settings that survive both Al Qudra and mall ramps.

A 70mm drop looks incredible in photos and terrible on a car that has to clear parking ramps twice a day. We normally set street cars 30–40mm below stock.

Start damping mid-range, then adjust in two-click steps. If the car skips over expansion joints, you are too stiff at low speed, not too soft.

For weekend desert runs, raise the front 10mm and drop pressures to around 22 psi on sand, then reset before hitting tarmac.
