Default Track Setup for KW V3s

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

Somebody recommended that I should have:
Rebound: F: 7 Clicks from full stiff (2 click stiffer) R: 8 Clicks from full stiff (1 click stiffer)
Bump: F: 2 clicks stiffer (I suppose that means 1/2 turn from full stiff) R: 1 Turn from full stiff (Leave alone)

Somebody else also recommended that I should dial up the bump in front because of high speed to take some load off the rear but I don't know how that translate to dialing in my suspension.

Note: The higher the # turns / clicks means the softer the rebound/bump.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
