Thanks, Mike.
Suspension setup right now is HKS Hipermax IV SP (track) coilovers - 8K springs front & rear.
Hotchkis sway bars front & rear. Since I installed the bars, I've backed the dampers off 2 clicks front & rear (from 25/23 out of 30 clicks to 23/21).
As for handling preference I'm looking for neutral balance. Something I can steer with my right foot, but not something that requires corrective lock. After softening the dampers I have noticed when the rear end slides or gets loose it seems more progressive/controllable. Before, it felt like it was on more of a knife edge.
Does that help?
I also have installed a pretty aggressive brake system up front - 13" x 1.25" 2pc rotors with 6 piston calipers and new HP+ pads. Brake bias calculates about 1% further forward then stock. This also made me think the 1/4" back-to-front rake I'm running isn't ideal, as it will transfer weight forward quicker, won't it? And the natural question on this is if I am eliminating it, am I raising the front or dropping the rear.
