Default Suspension setup

This may seem to be a stupid question but anyway....At the track is it better to have your car raised in the back and lowered in the back or vice-versa or is it good to have it completly even? I have tokico hp (non adjustable) with dropzones coilovers and I am wanting to know what i should set my ride height with the coilvers to get the best times..thanks in advance

It is more important for the rear not to squat on launch. If your springs in the rear are soft then yes you should raise the rear to increase the weight on the front.

stiffen up the rearend.

I have ran Accord front springs on the the rear of many all motor cars. seen the 60' drop after the install of them. My buddy runs consistent low 2.0 on street tires with accord springs in the rear. The front is completely stock.
