Hard for the rear and soft for the front. Helps to transfer the weigt to the rear tires.

Yep - I did a little test: 36psi in rear tires, D-Specs at 4 front and rear. Did a couple passes. Then I dropped the psi to ~25, Front struts at 6, Rear at 2. Took 2/10ths off my ETs.

Well that is not that great of a test..... You prolly got most of that .2 from dropping the rear preassure 11 p.s.i. You should have done a few runs with the lower preassure then a few with the D-spec adjustment and compared!

Full soft in the front, 2.5 passenger side rear, 3 driver side rear. This allows my car to launch dead center. I do need to play with it sometime depending on track temp to ensure the car stays straight. That's what I love about the D-Specs.
