Default QA-1 Users, Need recommendstiond for my C-4

I am useing QA1's (currently have Bilstein Z51 HD shocks) this weekend at an autocross, and need what you recommend for a baseline. For the street, 6(clicks) up front and 4(clicks) in the rear is recommended. I have base FE1 springs, 425 front and I believe 220 rear? with 32mm solid front bar and 26mm solid rear and the Vette is lowered with VB&P suspension for autocross. What settings do you think I should start out at? Its fun runs, so I should be able to get a few good runs in.

Its been a few years, but I think I used 10F 6R on my '89 when I still had the QA1s

That is about what I start off with too. If you get too much oversteer turn the back down 1. The shocks are nice as you can dial in the car to your liking.

On another note get a little notepad to keep in the car. I use a small binder. Every time I am at an autocross or track day I write my settings down along with the pavement type and the weather. Helps me remember what works best when and were so when it is a real event and I only get 3 runs I don't have to mess with it as much. Same goes for writing down tire pressures...
