So with a pancar style design, that doesnt necessarily "roll" around a center, it is more critical to optimize the front to rear balance. On the FGX the primary method for this is rear droop. In saying that you need to look at the function of each component.
The shock or damper is for just that, damping, or controlling the motion. the springs primary function is to hold the chassis up off the ground, while its secondary function is to provide resistance against the dampening. IMO the first order of business on any chassis should be to get the weight transfer right. Shock length/droop adjustment should be the primary adjustment here.Damping should be adjusted based on the surface consistency of the track, and spring rates to adjust for the grip level of the track
