Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreame dampener adjustment ?
I generally agree with Ian's comments, but I if its that noticeable, I would be surprised if it was the dampers. Other things to check are the spring rates. If Quantum supplied them, they had three different sets, road, road / track and track. I switched from road to road/ track. That was far more noticeable than any changes I made to damper settings. If you want to try, I still have the original road springs. I covered this in a QM article once giving the actual rates. If necessary I could dig them out. Also check how tight the suspension bolts are at the back. I have heard that they can be overtightened, clamping the suspension, causing the ride height to 'ratchet' down with driving. Finally check the spring preload by measuring the ride height, just in front of rear snd behind front wheels. By memory it should be 5.5 and 5 inches rear to front respectively.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreame dampener adjustment ?
If they are like mine, back them all the way off by turning the knob anti clockwise, then add clicks until you achieve the ride you are after. Some say all the way off is rust right. I run mine about half way for track and back off three or four clicks for the road.
