Suspension tuning question?
Alright i have an 86 sport rx7, swapped to 5 lug, 4 piston calipers, ss brake lines, racing beat springs and sway bars, 4 point roll cage in the back, front strut bar, all new polurethane bushings. Then i have tockico illuminas all the way around. Now the question is if i want my car to handle the best in the turns what would you suggest to have the struts set at from 1-5, 5 being the stiffest? Then if i want my car to hook up real good in a drag what should i have the front and rear struts set at? I am new with suspension tuning and a little bit of advice from someone that has experienced or played around with something similar would be much apreciated. Thank you.

well, as far as i know, for cornering ya want yur suspension as stiff as the tires can handle. if ya want to induce more oversteer, raise the damper lvl in the rear. for any reason you would want to induce more understeer, raise the settings for the front. to create more traction in the front/rear if they are slipping too much, lower the settings of the ones that are slipping. for drag i think it would make sense to have the rear on a low setting so the weight can shift to the rear allowing for more traction.
