But I see where you're going with the softer front setting [to allow the frontend to lift and transfer weight to the rear]. Have you had better results doing it this way?
I'm not giving the dampening suggestions by experience, but have been told by the shop that installed the Coilovers on our Camaro that when we take it to the strip we'll want to stiffen the rear and do the opposite on the front. Whether they are cranked all the way or not the car will still dip a little and the weight be transferred to the rear end. I believe this is for preventing wheel hop which I experienced on one of my hard launches at the drag strip. I might be wrong
