I went with 6kg/8kg (front/rear). With rebound set equal between the front and rear, the car understeers, so I cannot imagine what people going with equal rates front/rear or even higher front are experiencing (understeer city?). With around 2 to 3 clicks harder in the rear, the car is very neutral (slight understeer under throttle, rear moves slightly under turn-in with brake small brake pressure). They are a godsend on tracks with smooth alphast. You can attack the berms too, provided they are not huge, but I seem to be faster barely clipping them rather than going all over them (according to lap times). On very bumpy tracks, I need to run them softer or the car hops over bumps. Having rebound cranked to the max makes quick transitions really easy, you dont have to "wait" for the car to switch around basically.
Driver skill aside, I run similar times on 245 RS4 tires to one of the more experienced drivers in our group, who is running RCE T2s in 255 nittos NT01. His car seems better composed going over berms and big bumps, I have better exit speed (from the apex and on), it seems like I have more traction coming out of corners, or he is leaving traction on the table.
Edit: stock sway bars, as I think its worth mentionning when comparing suspension setups.
