Default turbo suspension setup

i have a Turbo eg hatch with koni yellows/gc set up with 400f/300r and was wondering if this spring rate is hurting me at the strip with this type of set up (as far as stiffness, or softness that matter). just kind of want the theory involved as far as drag racing setups go. is it better to have softer/full soft in front and hard in rear so the tires bite more during shifts? give me some insight please. I did post this in the suspension thread, but i thought the forced induction crowd would be better suited for answers. thanks

As far as I understand you simply want the least weight transfer to the rear wheels during acceleration(stiff rear springs) for drag. I am not totally sure how the front stiffness comes into play but I don't think it really matters as much as a good traction bar
