Most people normally run the same compound front & rear. At the big indoor meetings there is normally a control wheel, tyre insert preglued combo.

I started out that way after a good near 20 year break, softer tyres rear to front . it's easier than tweaking your setup, try having 0 - 1 mm rear droop (put at on known flat surface, put Allen driver under centre of the chassis at the rear and lift till wheels leave the surface, bothe wheels need to lift at same time. Adjust droop screws till they match and also reduce till you see the rear bobble a little going round corners!! You'll know when you see it)

0-1 mm droop? I have never seen a set up for any car posted anywhere with so little droop.

I would recommend same compound front & rear follow the kit set up for your car, it is normally pretty much there, certainly on XRay, Yokomo & VBC cars.
