50/50 is with what most go with, that's also what I have mine at. 1.6 60's
Question to the people that have them installed, when there set at 50/50 you have to extend them to install them. Well last week I installed some newer rear springs and notcied that the indicator wasn't exactly lined up to the set setting while extended. Does this mean its at whatever setting its pointing or does it work based off what it was set to before extending?
Thanks in advance, not trying to thread hijack because I'm sure others might want to know this later. I'll probally call comp eng. to ask them.

I set them there purposely in the intent not to have too much squat on the launch. And yes, I know it can go low 10's. Just a matter of setting the on rpm earlier out of the hole. That run in the video, juice came on at 4000 rpm. It was my first run ever on nitrous. And yes my goal also is to run in the 9's on stockbottomend/stock 10bolt! Will try before the year is over!Thanks for looking.

No in the rear shock application, the 1st number is the compression rating, the 2nd is the extension.
There is no 70/30.
Front shock rates are 90/10 80/20 70/30.
Rear shock rates are 30/70 40/60 50/50.
The 50/50 will resist squatting the most, while the 40/60 and 30/70 will allow the rear to drop faster and hold the rear end down more which is supposed to promote more weight transfer on slicker tracks, but will most likely just cause wheel hop.
50/50 from all the people I know gets the best results.
