Default adjusting koni shock for drag launch

i've got a set of Eibach pro-kit springs and Koni yellows on my Prelude, what kinds of settings should i put my Konis on for best results

(yes, i searched, but only found info bout the springs themselves, not shocks)

1/2 - 2/3 stiff in front

i've been thinking about koni's at the drag strip. Since they are only rebound adjustable, would that not change things?

Generally they say, for launching, you need a stiff rear and a softer front end. but if you soften your koni's up front, then wouldn't that allow more weight transfer to the rear. and if you stiffened up the rear konis, wouldn't that do nothing at all?
