dude let me tell you i have the came shocks with ground controls. you do not want to start at 4/8. i have mine set at 3/8 now. but for a year i have 3/6. after like a year or so i will need to go up cause in my case they seem to get looser as time went on. 4f gives you a lot of wheel hop. and 8r is like super stiff. you will be flying all over on the inside of you car.
just my .02.

ok, ok..im assuming the rear s are 4way and the fronts are 8s...if ur going to set the rears at 2 the the fronts should be set at 4 or 5..and if the rears are set a 3 the fronts should be at 5 or 6..any more ull just be over dampening the shocks

the front are 4, and the rear is 8. I have mine on 4/8, I've only had them installed for a day so i was having a little fun. Its kinda bumpy on this setting so I will be lowering it soon.

I've kept mine at 3/6 since testing em' out on a little secret street roadcoarse. I tried many different combinations but found 3/6 to be the best for me
