KW V3 Rebound/Compression settings for IS-F

I'll bump this thread back up instead of starting a new one.
I experimented with many compression and rebound settings and finally hit the sweet spot.
from full stiff, 6 clicks for rebound (rears and fronts).
from full stiff, .75 turns for compression (rears and fronts)
I have a sikky rear sway bar as well set on full stiff.
The car does not understeer at all, and is easily tail happy with a touch of the throttle.
I'm not Jeremy Clarkson when it comes to oversteer, but I do prefer it to oversteer.
My review is based solely on back road driving...planning to take it to the track this summer.

Hello to everyone!
My name is Mikhail and I'm russian owner of an ISF for the last 4 years and I watchin all the forums and your articles and comments - appreciate thi kind of content, it's really helpful!
Right now I'm struggling for info about KW V3 springs replacement options. Previously I used swift springs on my stock shocks and after I have change it for KW V3. After yeaar of using it seems to me too soft, the spring rates are 11/8 kg's, but Im looking for 14/10 or higher to make improvements. I know that swift springs has their spring set up for BC coils, but what about KW? What setup swift can offer for KW, is it possible to make this replacement?
Thanks in advance and best regards!

This is honestly one thing I didnt like about coil overs. They are great because you can adjust them but they never felt as dialed in as the oem set up minus the roll when I really pushed the car. It would either over steer, understeer , ride like ****, or just feel too soft. It just created a chore for me to get it set up only to realize I was set up for the roads I drove and not the ones I would come across . Then when I had the electronic damping force controller mounted in the arm rest I found myself adjust my suspension as I drove for the corner I just went through LOL.
I would do coil overs later if my car became a full on track car or when I feel the need to step up the handling . So far the handling with these monster 255/295s is solid, but I want less roll and tighter steering. Will probably be doing the steering ECU down the line as well. Coil overs for me is opening a HUGE can of worms
