Seriously you could do that up here. We have Powercruise Event coming up soon at Queensland Raceway. Plenty of Drift, Drags, Dyno action. My brother John entered it last year with the Harrison. The only Cobra I know that has competed in Drifting.

I'll start by saying I'm no expert. But here is my take. Start with dampening set to middle for front and rear. On the track if it's pushing a lot, you need more dampening on rear. If it's oversteering you need to drop off dampening on the rear. Overall you end up with generally more dampening on front and less on the rear. I know when John added front sway bar he needed to added a lot more dampening to the rear to compensate, he didn't have to change the front as far as I know. For road a lot of it comes back to comfort and stopping the car bottoming out on rough roads. So expect to have different settings for road, compared to track.
