Default Help setting up suspension, QA1 Comp R shocks

Comp R up front, Strange 10 ways in the back. Spohn T/A.

Startign with fronts set at two. Backs middling setting, shoudl it be tighter on pass rear or driv rear to keep car leaving straight? Im thinking pas rear to keep it from squatting.
What about stagering the front?

Car runs 117 mph, but it looks like its a stock car leaving the line now. Has 4.11 now, ran best 1.60 60 ft with stock 3.23 gears

Granny, 2 front 4 rear like coach said works well. An air bag in the right rear will help some, but the best thing to do to make it leave straight is install a anti-roll drag bar.
