Should the front rebound settings generally be a little higher than the rear? Also, I usually run a little less tire pressure in the rear to soften the rear just a bit. I guess that won't be necessary any more with the new adjustable coilovers?

since you're still stagger, start with the rebound the same all around and set the compression where i mentioned. im starting you off on a setup that wont spin you into a wall. tune from here till get get a balance and dynamic rotation you like. I recommend later getting adjustable sway bars which can help with further front to rear balance control

like i said earlier, if the front feels floaty in high speed sweepers, give the rebound one more click, if the rear feels uncompliant, go down one click

KW V3 Setup
 
Sorry to jump on your thread but I also got the same question in regards to finding out the ideal setup for my car to Track. My car will be getting exposure to HDPE courses majority at Laguna Seca (Salinas, CA) & Thunderhill (Willows, CA).
I'm leaving for track at Laguna Seca this Saturday, any advice would help. I kind of want something more aggressive than KW V3's recommended setting.

My Current setup:
Sway Bars: Stock OEM
Wheels/Tires: Stock Rays F: 19x9 w/ RE-11 245/40R19 R: RE-11 285/35R19
Ride Height: F: 27..125"/26.875" R: 27.625"/27.25"
Camber: F: -2.9/-2.8 deg R: -1.8/-1.8 deg
Toe: F: 0.01/-0.01 deg R: 0.10/0.11 deg

Current KW Setting:
Rebound: F: 9 Clicks from full stiff R: 9 Clicks from full stiff
Bump: F: 1 Turn (1 full revolution/4 screw holes count) from full stiff R: 1 Turn from full stiff
