This has always been my understanding as well. You want the rear to compress easily, to shift the weight bias rearward. Rebound is unaffected.
Steve, that's why I was confused that one day at BG when you said you were running full-firm in the rear... since the Koni shocks only adjust for compression, you're essentially preventing the weight from transferring to the rear. The logic of "the shocks are pressing the tires into the pavement harder" doesn't wash in a 3,400 pound car with a 57/43 weight bias... haha.
One way to find out -- go full soft, and do a run. Crank them up to super-firm, launch at the same RPM, and compare 60' times.
