I wanted to try compression at 6 and rebound at 11, but I ran out of sessions, and I was thinking I may introduce jacking down with that big of a spread. The curbs at autobahn are pretty rough, but I can straddle curbs at Road America much better.

On OEM roll bars?
One of the first mods I did was a Hotchkis ft bar set in the middle position. It made a huge difference, kept the rear end behind the front, allowed for much more aggressive trail braking and the rear end didn't tend to step out and hit cones as much in autox. I think GM made the car a bit loose from the factory, now my car feels much closer to the GT4R car in sim, which can brake really hard into the apex.
I also put in a ZLE rear bar, I've tried soft and medium positions and would like it halfway between the two, but feel like the middle setting is better balanced overall. I think the ZLE bar in the middle is pretty close to the OEM FE4 bar though.
On my shocks, I'm at 12 clicks front and 9 clicks rear from full soft, both comp and rebound for track. I use less for autox but it depends on the venue.
And my alignment is 4 deg ft, 2.5 rear camber, zero toe ft and 1/16 toe-in rear. Tire wear is very even and some testing with a pyrometer shows even temps across the tires running an 18x12 square setup.
