Default Shock settings for Neutral Handling

Hi folks,

I currently have Daizen sways installed on my car; and just added Supra Eibach/Tokico Illumina combo.

The rear sway bar is set to the middle position (as recommended by Daizen).

My question is...If I want to maintain more neutral handling, what would be the proper setting for the front/rear shocks? Tokico's are 1=softest 5=hardest. Would harder front/softer rear be correct? Or keep both front/rear the same?

Thanks for any words of wisdom.

truthfully only you will be able to tell that. there is no magical neutral setup, it comes with guessing and testing. i would say start the shock settings in the middle and see how it feels. from there figure out how the car is reacting through turns and what-not and then stiffen or soften from there. you will find it takes time to setup the suspension. good luck
