I know stiffer settings on extension for the rear will quicken my cars reaction.I think it's because there is less 'motion' in the suspension,almost like a hardtail dragster.The car just seems to make that initial move quicker.On the front,I would think a loose extension setting would keep the tire low and in the beam longer,thus a worse reaction time.

Like 67 said... in most cases if you stiffen the
rear extension it will react quicker... the front
will change it but it depends on how the car transfers
now. If it transfers the weight good now and you loosen
the front end it might yank the front tires straight
up instead of traveling forward
