Default How to set shocks on my 3G TL?

i just got some Illumina shocks for my 2004 TL and i have a set of Eibach 4044.140 springs (http://www.acuraworld.com/foru...57845)

question i have is, since this is a fwd driveline how do i set the stiffness on the shocks? it's not a auto-x car, i'm kinda after a nice smooth ride.

typically on a rwd car i would set the fronts a tad stiffer than the rears. but i'm not 100% with setting the shocks on a fwd car.

the Tokico sheet says the by stiffening the front more will also increase understeer. is this true for rwd as well as fwd cars ??

these shocks have 1-5 adjusting, so should i start out with front-3 rear-2 ??

i just dunno, this car is also front heavy (no driveline parts in the rear), so maybe i want front-3 rear-1 ??

anyone ??

thanks
AK
