I have it at 5 in the rear(stiff) and 2 in the front. I am going to stiff up the front to 4 and see if that is any better.

I was on bfg's and getting mad wheel hop.

yea id say the best bet is to test it out on different settings at the track and see what works best for you ...but from what ive heard full hard all around works best ...
