That means keeping those rear tires as connected to the pavement and getting the outside front tire to the point of lifting off the pavement.

I would suggest full stiff in the front and full soft in the rear. This would give you maximum grip when throttling out of corners. 0threefiftyz runs the massive Hotchkiss front bar and no sway bar in the rear. And he won the Tire Rack Solo Nationals in BSP.
I've won national events, not Nationals.....hopefully soon .

I compensate with spring rate for the rear. It is still a little pushy, but you can get on the throttle so god damn early it is a worthwhile tradeoff.
