I run my front struts at 3 when crusing around. I'd put the backs at 3 as well probably.

Set the rears at 5 and fronts at 1 for Drag Racing. Street, set them as stiff as you can without getting a skipping effect across the ripples/bumps of the roads you normally drive.

I keep mine at 3 up front and 4 out back. I played around w/ them a lot, this is the combo I found that limits the under and over steer. This is with Steeda lowering springs though.

Yup, they kick @ss.

For driving around, 3 up front is good for stock springs (400 or 425/530 lbs/in). 2 if you have lower rate springs (than 400 lbs/in). 4 if you have high rate springs (600+ lbs/in).

For higher rate springs, a stock strut is too soft.
