Default coilover setting for autocross, track, or dragon

hey guys, im just curious what you guys set your setting on your coilovers for your s during track, autocross or dragon? Ive heard that we should set the rear softer than the front to avoid spin out. which currently where my setting at now rear is 2 clicks softer than the front. However, i want to hear what you guys opinions are. Please let me know. Thanks!

It's hard to say because it's subjective. All drivers like their cars different than others. Generally, you want to have the rear softer than the front. Camber isn't as important in slow speed handling as much as toe is.

Generally, I set up cars with more front camber than rear, but this is also driver preference.

I know you're looking for advice, but take everyones advice with a grain of salt - everyone drives differently. Only you can decide how you like it.
