Default Coil Overs

Ok so whats the best way to set them up for drag racing at the track?

Soft all the way around? Soft in the back and hard in the front?

I have the strange adjustable shocks, they rate from super soft at 1 to max hard at 10. I setup mine at 2-3 on the front and 5-6 on the back, if that gives you an idea.

In other words, you want the fronts to be a few clicks stiffer than max soft and the rears at about 50 percent, and work your way from there. To soft in the rear and you get wheelhop, to stiff and you don't get weight transfer. The fronts are generally the softer the better, but you don't want it so soft it bounces down the track.
