Default b44.2

can some body explain to me why the front of the car feels softer than the rear. ill give you my specs
front 3.8lb springs,35wt oil 1.6mm pistons
rear 2.10lbs springs 30wt oil 1.7 pistons
I have tried all holes on towers and arms yet the front feel much softer than the rear.
front I always run outside on arm middle on tower

rear mostly run middle tower to outside arm. I have ask a few family members on there opinions and they all say front is softer.

is this the feeling because the holes on the arms are in the centre making leverage easier and on the rear the holes are near the hubs creating a heavier hard to lift feel. is it to do with the links as when I push down on the rear, the rear tyres try to slide in towards the diff. also creating a load on the shock. thanx

It's a geometry thing!

The front shocks are mounted narrower both at the top and bottom, which gives a softer feel.

It's normal though, so I wouldn't worry!
