what are you setting them for? roadcoursing? drag? daily? easy to do.

I would like to know how to adjust them for everything. As I plan to do some road racing, drag racing, and a lot of street driving. :) If anyone can tell me how and what settings they like for those applications I would appreciate it. Thanks :)

The shocks are only adjustable in rebound.

For road race I like full stiff in front, 1/2 to 3/4 stiff in rear.

For drag race you want rear weight transfer, which is lots of droop in front, which would say full soft in front.

Gotta pick one over the other.

I understand that you need to adjust them to what application you’re using you car for. What is everyone’s settings on the specific application (Street, drag, etc.)

Thanks for the help!

If I remember right full stiff is 1 3/4. I prefer 1 1/4 front and 1 5/8 rear. This suits my driving style for autocross and managing understeer.
