most people would tell you to start with the rears really stiff and the fronts pretty soft...however, with most struts that only have one adjustment that controls both bound and rebound proportionatly when you set them "stiff" it increases the bound resistance and decreases the strength of the rebound, the reason it does that is because if the strut does not rebound it wont have much/any suspension load time and thus helps when cornering by keeping the suspension loaded. so the same concept would apply when drag racing i would think, if your front is stiff it will stay loaded, thus (in theory) reducing wheel hop, and i would prolly start with the rears at medium, and increase from there as you feel necessary. now mind you that my expertise lies in the cornering ability of cars and how to set them up for that, but what i said is a pretty sound theory, you should try it, i dont see why anything about the strut would change just because it is going straight instead of turning....


oh and if you have any further questions feel free to PM me or IM me like angela said, and my screen name is yourlocalgod718 (she forgot the 8)
