Ok so ive been driving around with my suspension for about a month now. I have it set at 4 clicks from the stiffest setting. Im looking for info on how to adjust them, should they be softer in the front and stiffer in the rear or vise versa. Looking for some info, thanks in advance.

i have mine 20 clicks from soft for the front and 12 clicks from soft for the rear. try it out, it shouldn't be too stiff nor soft.

typically, fwd goes like this:
spring rate = stiffer rear/softer front. (promotes oversteer)
dampening = softer rear/stiffer front. (reduces wheel hop and stuff)

something like that.

Contrary to popular belief, Softer = more grip. This goes for springs as well as dampers. the caveat being you need enough spring to keep you off the bump-stops.

anyway, pay attention to what the car is doing on corner entry. Is it understeering? is it oversteering? with that, you can determine if you need to soften or stiffen either end. So If the car is understeering, for example, you may want to soften the nose or stiffen the rear.
