Full soft all around should be fine if your alignment is on the ball. It depends on load and what you're doing that weekend. . .if you're taking it to the track, full firm all around. I wouldn't set soft and firm between front and rear, I tried and the handling characteristics got twitchy.

Full soft up front, and full stiff in the rear. You want to stop the rear end from squatting and let the front end rise up a little. Then again I dont have Konis so I dont now if this theory will work.

Definately go with full stiff at the back, maybe toy around with the front setting and see what nets the best 60' time. At least the front ones are easy to adjust wink laugh

Good luck.

Perhaps Simon is right, but in my case, full firm all the way around works best for me...
