Other than quick weight transfer, there's not a ton going on with a front shock. Hell, get up in the power level, and you are actually trying to slow down the transfer by tightening down the shocks or travel limiters(or both). Most fast cars have a VERY small window of front shock travel, and the actual release of the shock in that travel is TIGHT to keep the nose controlled. Slower cars can benefit from a nice soft shock and no front sway bar to get 90% of your performance out of it.
The rear is where the primary traction game comes into play based on climate/track changes in regards to how hard you let the car hit the tires and how fast you let the shock come back. At least this is what we've seen?
To each their own in regards to how you attack your suspension setup, but if i was going to invest, I'd do it cheap up front with 90/10 front shock with travel limiters(nothing more than some chain from the local store and some plate/bolts), and a NICE set of D/a's in the rear(Afco).

tightening the shocks make a big difference i did a 7.8 pass lifting the front tires about six inches having the shocks set at 5 clicks from loose with a 2.0 60ft . tightened them to 7 it lifted less with a 1.7 60ft. was going to try them at 9 but ran out of time. thanks for all the help
