First off i wouldn't really consider douglas to be soft. I see them as a medium between manesium and burris. If you have this abundance of wheels I would put the stiff wheels on rains front and back, but I just use douglas and I have plenty of grip. The benefit you will see will be very minimal I think if at all.

You really need 'dynamic' weight transfer after turn-in.



Or a really soft 28mm chassis!
