Street: 2 on the front and 4 on the rear.

1/4 Track: 1 on the front and 8 on the rear. (Haven't got a chance to do this just yet)

The rear **** faces toward the rear of my wheel.

I can understand the stiff rear for the track but why the loose front. Will that help traction?

Uh, the ****

I am pretty sure the **** should face away from your rotors in the back, if that is what you are asking.

While I was at the track for the first time last Oct., I also was weighing pros/cons of setting front to 1 vs. 8 at the track. I tried both but counldn't draw any solid conclusions since there were too many other variables...like me figuring out launch rpms & gassing at different amounts to reduce wheelspin.

Since the AGX setting affects its bound/rebound, I thought setting the front to 1 would allow the front wheels to stay in better contact with the track surface as the front of the car "pulls" upwards while the rear squats down. Does this rationale make sense ?? Help! Someone please shed some light on this. (& the more technical the explanation, the better).

Thx in advance.

AGX settings

Very informative suspension article in this months NPM. I'm guessing the B14 suspension adjustments parallel the A32/A33 very close.

Setting Front............................Rear
# 1 Same as factory...................5% softer than factory
# 2 15% firmer than factory.........Same as factory
# 3 50% firmer than # 2 setting....7.5% firmer than factory
# 4 30% firmer than # 3 setting....15% firmer than factory
# 5 NA.....................................43.5% firmer than factory
# 6 NA.....................................72% firmer than factory
# 7 NA.....................................97.5% firmer than factory
# 8 NA.....................................123% firmer than factory
