Default Best Drag Setting for Tein Flex

Anyone have the Tein Flex and drags heavily? If so what's your preferred setting?

softer the better, more weight transfer to the rear = more traction....

softer all around or is it ok to go soft in the rear and stiffer in the front?

I loooove the stiffer handling from having it stiff in the front, much more control on the steering

id like to see your 60 foots after you take it to the track and try the different settings

i personally dont like the back too soft cause i feel like the car dips way too much

If you feel much more control with a stiffer front, then Id take that over a .1 reduction in 60ft at your power level. I turn my fronts to full soft, and my rear is permanent at 6/15-Im on JIC's not Teins but same concept....

i noticed some wheel hop when i dropped my settings to 5 and 5. better results with it set to 16 and 16. i'm also considering raising my ride height in the rear - too much neg camber right now with it lowered basically as far as the tein's allow. any tests yet, tomcat?

interesting, so you got better results with the spring at the stiffer setting...just from street driving the stiffer settings seem to be better for me as well

My car is at brainstorm for the next 2 days to get the racelogic traction control installed and to tune the water/methanol injection.
scarily I won't be able to do any test runs prior to IDRC on the 8th...
