Wouldn’t this depending on your existing suspension modifications?

Like replaced control arms or bushings, and swaybars?

Not just for this but I suppose same goes for coilovers.

See I would have run 4/8 all the time but I was worried about strut longevity with the way I drive.  
The stiffer you set it, it decreases the lifespan of the strut.
