that makes it difficult then...

as others have suggested you really need to soften the rear bump and increase the rear rebound.

I would suggest starting off with the rears set in the middle of the adjustment scale and adjust (trial and error) from there. And set the fronts as soft as possible to help weight transfer.

Anti lift kits while helpful for putting power down out of corners, don't really help straight line acceleration from a standstill, they drastically limit the weight transfer.

If you decide to refit stock struts in order to try and get the best possible drag racing results, I would also remove the anti lift kit (if one is fitted).

One last note for those who are unaware, unlike the earlier models, torque split adjustment in an '06 sti is only variable between 50:50 and 41:59 front to rear.

I really aren't that serious to go changing suspension components just to gain a few tenths but the easy adjustments I would be silly not to have them as good as possible.

From what you have said Type 25 I take it set the front as soft as they will go and about middle of the range for the rear.

Will be starting with DCCD full rear as that definitely was the go when I ran the 12.3. Axel tramp feels horrible and I got it every time I locked it up.
