Long story short I need a general starting point for my fox shocks on the front of my BJ car. I get them valved for free but I have to call the guy tomorrow morning at 9AM.

What are most of you running on the front of your cars? Mine is actually a bug but I just need to start close so I can go test. I was thinking #50 comp, #30 rebound. I am worried that is way to light on Comp but I am a truck guy so I don't know. Those are the fox numbers...the #50 is an all .010 stack and the #30 is an all .008 stack.

I don't need any secret valving just ball park please! And any help with the rear would be nice too.

Great start. 50-60 comp..... 30-40 reb.... It will also depend on how much your beam is turned. Mine is 3/8 top and bottom

Thanks to everyone! I went with 60/40 in the front and 100/70 rear. And when I said 60/40 the guy said "so stock, 40/60" and I said no....60 comp 40 reb to which he replied "you never want more comp than rebound unless its a bypass" to which I said, this is how I want it. Not sure what that guy was smoking! I have never even heard of anyone running it the way they come other than formula 1 and the likes.

Either way THANKS eveyone (and those who PMd me).
