Typically with FR's you want a softer damper setting in the rear than you do in the front. Too much front dampening will promote understeer though, while a stiffer rear shock promotes oversteer. I'm not sure of the handling characteristics of the MkIV Supra but I know on my car you want a little stiffer in the front than the rear to counteract the rear-biased nature of 240's. Then again adjustment settings also have to do with how the driver feels as well.

there is no perfect setting. every driver is different. just set it drive it and if you dont like it change. its that easy. :thumb:

So the consensus is to either go full stiff all around (on my car that's 4/4), or slighty stiffer up front than in the rear. I am also using Eibach Pro Kit and rub when braking while turning, I'm assuming this is normal since there's nothing you can really do to prevent this? I'm riding on 18's BTW.

put them on full stiff, drive around. if they are too bumpy, move them to not so stiff, drive around. now turn hard, if you understeer, soften up the front, if you oversteer, soften up the rear. repeat the process until you get it how your like it. no one can tell you what to set them on, its all personal preference.
