I recommend running with minimum preload.

I did not run into issues with bottoming out and believe me, Los Angeles roads are BAD.
Yes I try adjusting my damper and the best I found was 7 front and 5 back. 7 front to have more weight transfer and more dampening and 5 back because any thing more and I bottom all the time.

so I will try the GT86 setting from FlexZ manual. As BRZ setting are very close to USA setting:

Front
A=100mm/3.9"
B= 32mm/1.2"
C= 178mm/7"
D= 110mm/4.3"

Rear
A=130mm/5.1
B=52mm/2"
C=259mm/10.2"
D=181mm/7.1"

SO 4mm less preload in front and 3mm less preload at back than USA setting

then adjust ride hight 5mm higher on the back. as this set up is supposed to be 10mm higher front and back than USA setting.
