Suspension for AWD drag racing Options

[KOU In3]

I've been meaning to post this for some time but keep forgetting. I've done a lot of searching on DSMtalk and others but have been finding mainly info on FWD or autocross set-ups.

What the consensus on the best suspension settings for drag racing. Obviously maximizing contact patch as far as camber, etc. But what about stiffness? As stiff as possible all the way around? Or some slack up front to minimize rebound after the initial backwards weight transfer shifts forwards again?

I know the general comment is, "it's awd, it doesn't matter." But I'm not so sure there isn't a healthy amount of time to be shaved off from proper suspension work. It seems to pay dividends with the FWD and RWD guys, why not us?

Some good points there Marcus. When I've reseached I've found a lot of AutoX stuff but even the little we've gone over here has been more specific info than I found in a few hours of reading back DSMtalk threads and sifting through cornering set-ups. Not that it's not good info on that forum, just not quite what I was looking for.

I've got a couple of Quaiffes in the new set-up so I'm not worried about losing power through the fronts spinning and not the rears. But I suppose I with the autocross and suspension tuning experience of some you guys I should just ask for suggestions on initial settings for the ShockTek suspension (with drag racing instead of autoX in mind though).

I've considered making it all as stiff as possible (when making a run) to minimize any weight transfer and gain maximum traction. Could use some basic advice for a starting point and things to look for when adjusting though. It's a couple weeks out still but I've been doing some research so I thought I'd come here for a little advice too though.
