I got Eibach Sportline springs and tokico 5 way adjustible shocks. I need to know what is the best setting for racing on my shocks. I have a 2g AWD with a big 16g and a stutter box, I leave the line at 5000 rpms and 15 pounds of boost.
 
I'd start with the rears full stiff and the fronts at 3. If only the rears break free at launch (which is very doubtful), then drop the rears by one point. If the fronts break free first, drop them by one. If they all break free together, leave the shocks alone and work on your feet. ;)

ps. seriously consider finding someone with ProKits who wants to swap springs
 
Unless you have the dyno plots from the exact shocks on the car, there's no way to tell if the settings even match each other on the "same" setting.

I have yet to see any adjuster on any shocks except Penskes, Fox/Bilsten, and (oddly) JIC produce the same force on the same setting.
