Default Rear Afco DA ?'s

Couple of questions about the above shocks.

I am hoping these will help me get into the 1.3 60' range this year.

What I am wondering is what benefit the shocks give the rear suspension on the launch?

I understand the role the front DA shocks play in a launch (keep the rebound loose and compresion tight to help weight transfer) but I am not really confident with what exactly the rear shocks are supposed to do?

I also would love some baseline settings that I can start with when I test for the first time in a few weeks.

Thanks in advance. Hopefully these questions aren't too annoying!
