Generally, on the track, you can run stiffer compression/rebound rates than you could normally run in an autocross, where quick turns can cause the car to sink and eliminate proper suspension behaviour if it does not have time to recover from a sudden compression.

So really, not to put you off or anything, but it's really up to your driving preference, and testing.

sigh......there's never a quick fix.
