well..i set mines full stiff...i didnt pay this much money for shocks that i could have got the same ride with blues or maybe kyb's...they are great shocks for the reason u can ride them hard. and you wouldnt want to use them full stiff in any track...at the drag strip you want full soft on the front...and at the autox u want a slight stiffness but not too harsh in the front so the car can slide around turns. never stiff on tracks. well not that i know of atleast.
