Default Single Adjustable Lada's on 951 Where To Start

I'm heading out to Mid-Ohio this weekend with my 951 I have new suspension installed. I'll be racing in NASA GTS-3. I wondered if I could get some advice on where to start with the adjustment of the 24 position Single adjustable Lada Shocks. The suspension is as follows:

Lada Single 24 Position Adjustable Schocks Front & Rear With Remote Gas Reservior

Hyper Coil Springs: 650/575

10mm Torsion Bars.

Kokeln adjustable front and rear sway bars.

Car weighs 3150 with driver and fuel

TIA

When I bought a track only 951 set up very similar to yours, the Leda's were set about 7/8 toward full stiff. The car acted almost as if there were no suspension, all solid, and the car would skitter over small bumps. I reset the Leda's to the half way point all around, and have been happy with the results. I've since had too much other debugging to do on the car to experiment more with these settings.

Assuming you had the car corner balanced, I'd suggest starting all at the halfway point, and going from there. If the whole car seems too soft, stiifen all four up. If there is understeer, soften up only the front. For oversteer, soften up only the rear.
