Rear Shocks Softer Or Harder?

ZsMach1 · November 23rd, 2007, 11:58 AM

Got no views in the other section so im posting it here.

For rear shocks, would softer or harder be the way to go for better traction on launches? Just got the tokico illumina 5 position adjustable shocks, want to know what to set them at.

It depends on what the car likes. With street radials it won't really matter what setting you have them on.

+1 but for generally you want softer in the rear and a set of fronts that will push up pretty good to get the weight to shift to the back. if you were pulling the front pretty good, then you would want a strut to be able to take the landing.

I will try it out and see how it feels.
