Just bought and installed new Tanabe/Tokico adjustment suspension..got questions

So I bought the Tanabe - Springs - Coil - 1.4-Inch Front Drop and 1.2-Inch Rear Drop NF210 Springs and the Tokico D-Spec Dampers (16- way adjustable Full Set Shocks) and i have a few questions.

First, on the shocks what setting would you suggest for a normal drive or for a rally type drive?

Also will I loose the tight handling if I make it where the shocks are set to a very soft ride or do i need to keep it on a hard ride?

Any pointers or answers would be great

idk about pointers for a better drive until i get that setup because...that's the exact same setup I want! Or no..i want the GF210's.

I would say soft for daily, stiff for rally.

I would say set the dampers to the softest setting that controls bounce over bumps. Find some rough roads and a few low speed speedbumps to experiment until you get that figured out for front and rear. That will be the softest setting you'll want for the street. For spirited driving, or all out road course, you can tighten it up from there.
