I really like the way 12k rear feels in terms of grip and controllability, but I am also wishing I had a wing to keep it planted. I had thought about swapping from 10/12 to 12/10, but I am thinking that more like 15/12 is what I am going to do. My guess is that I might have the same problem in the front once I do that and then require some downforce up there as well.

I would say that overall 10/12 is not a bad setup and is a pretty good stepping stone. However it's not really great either. Front is still to rolly polly, and the rear is actually really darn good, but yeah needs aero to tame it a bit on the high speed stuff.
Without the added downforce I think 10k is good in the rear, at least for me. I am thinking of going up to 14k in the front and see how that works. I do not have to revalve if I only change the spring rate by 2K+/-. I am more of a beginner in this track setup so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I can only comment on how my setup is performing. I am sure you are way faster than I am with more experience in this arena.
