Adjustable shock setting for autocross?
im not sure if this will help or if its correct but at my first auto-x i ran a smoking fast time with my rears at full stiff and fronts about halfway stiff. (I believe my konis only adjust rebound...agx's are compression AND rebound??)

Running full stiff in the rear, and about soft to half-stiff in the front is pretty common.

To be frank.
The KYB adjustment range is limited. You will probably notice very limited if any performance differences between full soft and full hard. Sorry, but that's the facts. Also the KYB adjusts both bump and rebound with a single adjuster. This significantly limits their tunability for autocross where you usually want lots of rebound without excessive bump.
I would start off full hard all around. If you notice the car skitters over bumps then soften the end that skitters.
Note that this is not the advice I would give a Koni Sport owner since Konis have just rebound adjustments.
The main thing in autocross is to work on your driving first and worry about car setup after you become a pretty good autocrosser.
