265 front 305 rear

HKS adjust both rebound and compression at the same time. I had to go harder on the front to control front end dive. I could go soft in the rear to get better weight transfer. I have G force sensors in the car so all I need to test is a clean patch of road and I can log the deceleration forces

I thought stiffer rear rebound, not softer, would help with maximizing braking?

Yes, less rebound at the rear will allow a CG shift to the front.
More weight up front=better braking

With HKS you have to adjust rebound and compression at the same time.

Car seems balanced but I have not recorded the G's on a skid pad yet

Changes after x10/x8 pads, front was loading up to quickly
up on the front shocks +5 (25 of 32)
down on the rear shocks -3 (18 fo 32)

front bar (3 of 5)
rear sway bar (3 of 3)

I am rebuilding a set of BC ER coilovers and will have compression/rebound independent soon.
