Thanks, that helps very much. I'll be on the Tein S-Tech springs which are stiffer than stock but have a couple of progressive coils on the front. Using Stillen sways and the same tires on 17X9 MB Motorsports but with 255 up front and 275 out back. I'll probably go with 275's all around next season though so I can rotate. I've talked to a few others with this eaxact setup and they're pretty happy with how it tracks too. I'm moving to a new area so I don't have any idea what the local tracks are like, but I'm sure I'll have fun finding out 
Thanks again for the help!

I used 1 turn from full stiff in front, 1.5 turns from full stiff in the rear. I was using Espelir springs (slightly stiffer than the RS*R springs) and Hotckis sways, set at full stiff front, middle in the rear.
I should point out that I was also using 257/40-17 Falken RT-615's on 5Zigen 17x9 FN01R-C wheels all around. With this setup, the car turns in nicely, and the suspension is not too stiff, so you still can get the power down out of the corners. The balance was very good, with just a slight oversteer (no more understeer!).
By the way, this track (Spring Mountain) is pretty smooth. You made need to reduce the dampening settings somewhat if the track you run on is more bumpy.
I usually leave the rears set to 1.5 turns from full stiff all the time and turn the fronts to 2.5 to 3 turns from full stiff in the front for street driving.
Hope that helps...

the hole does not need to be much bigger than the diameter of a 3mm allen wrench. though the larger you make the hole, the easier it will be to see where the allen key needs to go. the key is the get the hole in the right spot so it is as straight over the adjustment screw as possible.
