So after 3 weeks of driving on this set up I can confirm that 3/4 turn from full soft on the rear (stock springs) is a tad more stiff than I would prefer for daily driving. With that said though, I think it is totally livable for me as long as I like how it performs at track days (first one is 4/27).
I initially had the fronts at full soft but I experienced underdampened front end osculations at highway speed. I moved them to 1/2 turn from full soft and I have no complaints.
I have OE sports and even with those 3/4 on the rear was too much so I dialed it back to 1/2...I also dabbled with the full range on the front (because why not). Full soft was absolutely underdamped (sharpness). Interesting you found that on the stock springs too. 1/2 turn front and back feels right and no complaints at the track with those settings IMO. The car absorbs and settles back down quickly enough for a daily / track hybrid. Not saying to change before your track day. Just something to consider if it keeps bugging you.
