[s-cars] HRSB -- which setting?

I run mine on the softest setting (end of bar) because (a) I use 92 OEM 
springs on my 95S6 and don't want to overpower them, and (b) I don't 
want the rear end to behave like a non-independent suspension on 
irregular-surface corners.

Corvair turbo engine back into the mostly rebuilt and modified Corvair 
Corsa chassis he last drove into his garage in 1972 just to repair a 
wheel bearing, but found other things to do.  Any of you have a longer 
car project going than this?)
