Autocross AGX settings?

What AGX setting would be useful in dialing out the understeer. I was thinking 6 or 7 in the back and leaving the front at 2, that way the rear end would be a little more willing to come around.
what setting have you guys found to be the best settings for autocross?

I've never done autoX. I have no clue

I run 3 in front and 5 in rear for every day driving.

My guess would be 4 in the front and 8 in the rear for autoXing.

The only time I did I put both front and rear to full stiffness (4,8). Looking back I think that is a bad idea because our cars are tuned for serious understeer and making the front stiffer will not give you any more traction since the front wheels are maxed out as it is. Next time I will try 8 in the rear and 2 in the front on one run and then try 1 in the front and 8 in rear to see what that does to handling dynamics. But I think it should 8 in the rear regardless so that you can transfer some of the load from the front to the rear.

It depends on which springs and sways you have too.

Cranking up the AGX's only helps so much since the springs are what's transmitting the cornering forces. They'll provide some initial roll resistance because they are a very "sticky" shock, but balance will have much more to do with tire pressures, springs, and sways more than your AGX setting (barring extreme underdamped or overdamped cases, of course).
