Just curious, I had a debate with my friend, and we were talking about shock/strut settings. I have my Teins set 4clicks from hardest in front, and 10 clicks from hardest in the rear. Essentially setting the rear softer. The rear of my car also has more bracing than the front. This feels good to me, but my friend was chatting with his dentist today, and the guy suggested that I try stiffer in the rear (btw, this guys is a SCCA champ, couple years forgot what class) Now I'm confused, and am about to go and play with my settings. Just wanted to know what you guys have yours set at? :hyper:

on my ae86 at the autox, full stiff at the front and a "click" softer in the rear. in any case, my rear is never stiffer than my fronts.

every setup i've seen has the rears stiffer. I got agx on my car with 6.7K/5.5K spring rates. My front shocks are set to 1 an my rears are set to 8. I've experimented with different ride heights and stiffness. The font end should be a little lower than the rear and the front shocks should be a little softer than the rear.
