Tuning damping force

I have a set of Tein coilovers and I need a little help with the 16 way adjustable shocks. What can I expect if I tune the rear stiffer then the front and vise versa? Any help would be great.

It all depends on how both compression and rebound are adjusted with each click and the ratio between them.

Generally speaking the stiffer the front is to the rear the more corner entry understeer and the stiffer the rear is relitive to the front more corner entry oversteer. You will notice the biggest difference in slaloms. They will not effect the car after turn in if unless the road is bumpy. That is what springs/ sway bars/ ride height and alignement is for.
