You'll want the rears to be at maximum stiffness. You don't want your rear to drop. And your fronts should be on the lowest stiffness level (just while at the drag strip of course, these are bad street settings)

But I see where you're going with the softer front setting [to allow the frontend to lift and transfer weight to the rear]. Have you had better results doing it this way?
