The FX3 system is dynamic, and adjusts itself based on a few variables. So, it might, or might not, be where you want it when the car is stopped, not moving.

Perhaps a better method (although a pain) would be to remove the electronic top off the shock, turn the adjustment all the way to one end, and hope that is the setting you want (full soft or full hard). If it isn't, try the other direction.

Good luck.
The only "variable" for SRC is vehicle speed. The faster the car is going, the stiffer the damping becomes, but there are no other variables.

When the car is not moving, in the performance range, the damping is still fairly aggressive.

The problem with manually adjusting the rear shocks is that it's impossible with the wheels on the car and the shocks in place. While you can easily adjust the front shocks manually, to do that with the rears, you have to jack up the car, remove the tires, remove the shocks, remove the actuators, make the adjustment then reinstall the shocks with the actuators not installed. After your done drag racing you have to remove the shocks again to replace the actuators.
