Exclamation arb settings??

right guys i fitted a lip spoiler the other day and noticed my fr 22mm adjustable arb was on the stiffer of the 2 holes(i asked for it on the softer setting but was the first time i've been able to look), the thing is my rear 22mm arb is on the middle setting,
now this to me doesn't seem a good combination (i might be wrong), i never thought it felt as good as what people on here where saying it should. after reading in here i'm going to go 24mm rear but until then what hole combination would you guys reccomend.
thanks for any help Aaron

IMHO:
Always start soft.
Put the front 22 on soft. Add the 24mm (good choice) and set that to soft (hole closest to the end, but i think you know that) and drive for a few days to get into the feel.

Then try middle which i think is where you will end up.
Hardest hole rear can be a bit oversteer, but down to taste.

With the front on hardest hole I would go for hardest rear so keeping the bias between the 2 bars.
At the moment the bars (22Fr/ 22Rr) are too close to each other's stiffness.

All IMHO, so experiment. There is no 'correct' setting, the correct one is the one right for you.
When set right, the chassis will corner nice and flat:

I am going far faster than it looks, flat in 4th on a dry track.
with 22 soft/24 middle the car will be great on wet or dry roads/track.(to my comfort anyway; I'm no rally driver!)
