On hoosiers with Ohlins with stock swaybars I'd start around 12 kg/mm. Perhaps 12k/14k. You'd definitely need a revalve for that.

I'll need to look through the rule book again. I know a lot of the bushings can be free, but some aren't. Swaybars definitely take points though and are a no-go for me.
Also, would your springrate recommendations change much for the Maxxis RC-1 tires (slightly more grip than NT01's, I think)?
Here is the section of the TT rules regarding suspension bushings:

22) Metallic and/or spherical-design replacement suspension bushings +3 (except for pillow ball camber plate joints, sway bar end links already assessed points in E.7) above, control arm spindle/knuckle joints already assessed points in E.9) above, and panhard rod, Watts link, torque arm, and third links already assessed in E.19), E.20), E.21), and E.22) above.)

This sounds like I'd be able to do the Whiteline polyurethane crossmember mount bushings, but I'm afraid the other bushings around sway bars, control arms, etc will cost points.
