Default qa1s softest setting street?

I have a set of qa1 single adjustables all around. I run 3 in the front and 6 in the rear at the track and have good success with that. Now on the street, Id assume since the roads arent prepped, more weight transfer will be needed to help grip the tires. Would running them on 0 ( softest setting) all around be the best idea? I want opinions from those who race on the streets please....thanks

I would say no. Softer means it won't be hitting the tire. BUT, on the street, anything goes and without the prepped surface, hitting the tire too hard will result in blowing the tires off. You'll have to find a "private test track" and a buddy to watch your car leave. Adjust accordingly, but you'll probably want to use your shocks in around the same settings, maybe a little softer, but I would be surprised if it went much softer.

SA QA1's are a compromise for the street. Do not run the fronts on 0 for the street. It will be way too bouncy and cause unsafe brake dive for emergency stops. I run the fronts 1 setting softer than the rears for street use.
