How soft/stiff for a good neutral start

[95burgundyesi]

I would imagine most of the weight on the awd 2g is in the nose. And I do not have every suspension mod there is, but I would like to maximize my potential with what I have, and was wondering when you generally set up a dsm to handle better, how soft do you set the coilovers? And can you go too soft in the front?

There is a night and day difference in the feel from my stiff rear settings for the strip and all the way soft while cornering. Any input would be great.

Unfortunatley "soft" and "stiff" are relative terms, have little correlation to soft and stiff on other shocks, and there is likely little relationship between soft on your front left and soft on your front right. For these reasons there is no way to tell you how soft to set them, or what the F/R bias would be.

In general, you can lessen the initial effects of weight transfer by softening one end and thereby giving that end slightly more grip.

Best way to find the happy spot is to get out to your local autox or track and mess with it until you find settings that work.
