Setting rebound on Koni SA...

Can anyone recommend a rebound setting for a front Koni SA in a 2001 Camaro? Pertinent context info: Front 1LE springs, stock rear springs. 35mm hollow front bar, stock/1LE rear bar.
I won't be track tuning this suspension so help me get in the ballpark.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Little. That reminds me, I forgot to say that the rear will have 3rd gen Bilstein HD's. I figure I should set the front rebound fairly soft since the Koni's are only damping 360# worth of spring and they can handle MUCH more. Can anyone with Koni SA experience get me close? If 1 is full soft and 8 is full damped what should I start with? 2-3 ish?

About 4 sweeps backed off of the full hard setting. MHO
