We normally recommend 6 and 4 as a starting point for road use. Thats the most popular setting, but all variations have been known! A customer we set up recently in Spain ended up with 6 front and 7 rear.

I vary it depending on what mood i am in. 
Running it at 9F 7R right now, i quite often run at 7F 5R.
On track i alter it for the particular track i am on, running it fairly soft at the nurburgring (around the 11-14 range depending on weather) and upping the rates on a smooth circuit to the 20's. On a very tight course like at TOTB i run more rear than front to get the back out easier when i need to change direction quickly.
The nice thing about the Leda setup is the adjustments actually do something, not all dampers i have tried give you as much noticable diferences.

Is it not the case there is only one correct setting to match damper to spring rate ?
I currently run 12 front, 10 rear and don't alter on track (mind it was wet last couple of times out).
I've tried lower rates on the road & the car seems too bouncy (put them at 6 or lower & it jumps off the road), any harder & it's too harsh.
Don't find sticking them up to 20 on track helps grip much if at all.
Might just be my set up though.

You can buy them from us direct, or you could buy them through Xtreme Scoobies, one of our distributors.
As far as settings go, the units are valved to match the spring rates, however there is always a range within this. There is quite a difference between the soft and hard setting, still using the same spring. However, if you were racing on slicks, you would use harder springs and the units would be valved accordingly. The adjuster allows you to fine tune to your personal preference, 6 and 4 being the starting point we recommend.
