Default 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.

I can't give you exact numbers, but IMO, soft in the rear and firm in the front to minimize snap oversteer. For the street you want mild understeer anyway.

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?
