I set my front ones on 1, and backs on 3. I still get sucky sixty foot times. Eibach pro-kit + sumitumos + 3k stall = bad 60 foot.

Good question, i was just about to make a thread asking the same thing. So soft in rear and stiff in front or soft all around?

i would thing logically you'd want the rear to be really soft so it will transfer the weight back and the front to be harder so it somewhat pushes the front up to transfer that weight
