I honestly don't understand why the CSG spec FLAs use 6k/6k everywhere.
At "street" damper settings the car rocks front-to-back on the highway all the time.
8k or 9k in the rear would be a lot closer to "flat ride", which should also be beneficial at the track.
I wish I knew that before ordering, and ordered custom springs/valving in the rear.
Because these are high performance, high compliance street dampers, that also are trackable.

If you want a track oriented damper, I would recommend considering a JRZ Motorsport, KW Clubsport, etc., something that is specifically designed for track use, with no compromises that originate from being designed for street drivibility.

While not optimal, you can go up to +2kg on the damper; the rebound valving can handle it.

I'm frankly surprised you find this too understeery/pushy for you with a 17 rear sway, as I find it pretty rotation happy, and I'm considered by most to be a very "loose" driver. I'll be the first to complain of a car doesn't rotate.
