Default kyb adjustment with strano spring?

i know this isn't an ideal drag setup but my car is not a "drag-only" car. i was curious what shock settings everyone was using for the kyb shocks? i do have strano springs to so that may affect it as well. the car already has a tunnel mounted torque arm, LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, etc. i have the kyb agx shocks on the front and the rear. i would think that you would want stiffer in the rear and softer in the front but i have no idea. i am looking for a good starting point for straight-line traction. thanks

I just put a set on mine and will test them at the track this weekend. I will let you know. Ive been told that these shocks do well on #1 or #2 (front shocks) for drag racing. What kind of 60 ft times are you cutting?

i ran them last week on 6 in the front and 4 in the back. cut a 1.76 60ft. car wasn't running 100%. could have probably gotten even lower. hooked up real good though.
