Anyone familiar with the proper set-up for the adjustable Bilsteins on a 2008 SC with the track pack. I was advised that soft in the front and stiffer in the rear is best but are we talking setting the Bilsteins at say 4 in the front and 6 in the rear or is it basically trial and error after a few laps?

The recommendations from Lotus are 3/2 (f/r) for road use, 8/7 for track use, which are good starting points. While I still had them, I settled on 5/4 on the street and stuck with 8/7 on the track. Best settings for you will depend on alignment, tires, etc.

BTW, if you google "Lotus Super Sport Suspension Package" you should find the Lotus "Owner's Information" document which includes ride height and alignment recommendations.

HTH,
