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.
I don't understand why you're so stuck on the USA default settings, when you're using JDM dampers. Try the recommended drop, but with minimum preload (only enough to hold the spring in place, but loose enough that you can rotate the spring.).

Is that 7/5 from maximum or minimum damping?
