Adjustable shock settings for drag racing.

Anybody with adjustables, how do you set up your shocks?
Soft in front I would think but not sure about the rear, soft or firm?
I have an Eibach drag launch kit and KYB AGX shocks.
I need to get the suspension set up so it will hook, went to the track tonite and the car ran its best 60 foot ever but still not low enough for the setup I have. Gonna dial in a little more negative pinion angle as well. I had a nasty little vibration but I spun the DS 180 and that helped 100%.

Sorry I cannot help but I have the same question myself.

Did you post this in the drag racing section?

Well, the last time I posted a question like this I did it in both forums and got no response in the drag forum and a few in here so maybe I will post it over in the drag forum anyway.

I am beginning to think I am the only person running the setup I have so I may just have to experiment with it and try to find the best settings.

The settings depend on the track.

Here is the article that GMHTP put out about the HAL's
