Thanks for the help.
Usually the opposite. Stiffer in the front and softer in the rear. Both with springs and shock oil.

Of course, this can vary based on conditions and driving style.

I started off with my normal TC4 setup with Silvers in the front and Greens in the rear. Easy to drive but I noticed I had a lot of body roll even with my 5.5mm ride height. So I went to Blues in the front and Silver in the rear to stiffen it up a bit. A little bit faster that way. I could stiffen it up a bit more but at some point I'd lose rear grip.

Keep in mind, you can just use the "whites" you got with the kit on the front. They're halfway in between AE's gold and blue. Then buy and use Silvers on the rear.

Personally, I'd purchase AE Gold, Blue, Silver and Green to have on hand. That's all of $12.
