Roger,

I sent an e-mail asking what you are planning for the car? Do you want a cruiser, an autocrosser, or a full on race car? Each has it's own force requirements.
Here's a link to our "standard" valve codes from a while back (post #12).
We've been playing with a lot more rebound since then on the track cars.

What I've found is that you don't want much compression damping in a street car. You want the spring to handle this. You do, however, want more rebound to help "slow down" the spring after it compresses.
