(random grumblings about agx's being teh suck)

with agx's and 380/400# springs: i ended up running full stiff in the rear, and 2/4 in the front as a compromise between some rotation and minimal super underdampedness

with pretty much any FF setup you will have higher shock settings in the rear. with tire pressures, aim for about 40psi for any street or DOT race tire. definitely not exact, but a vague guide.

Not always. My ITR was very happy with the rear shocks turned to the max.

by higher you mean faster piston movement, right?
