This may not be the answer you were expecting, but I believe it largely depends on the track. The tuning of your parts will also have to be based on driver preference. While a specific setup may not be the fastest one possible, if you are more comfortable with it, you will be faster around the track.

Ok. Figured. More looking for a good baseline to start at. Looking at going with Ceika Coilovers, which are made to order. Check em out. Might bite a bullet and try one of their BBKs too. The IS300 and supra guys seem familiar and haven't had any issues. Biggest downside is the cost of pads and rotors compared to a Wilwood kit. But at least for the coilovers, I could choose what damping rates and such I want, which might be better than some or worse. As it is always said, am I really going to be able to make a better choice than a company that has thousands in R&D and hours on a track? Probably not. The idea is still tempting...
