I have Tokico's all round, and I have 4.8kg rear and 7kg front springs. I also have adjustable anti roll bars front and rear.
(N.B. most of my testing has been on the street on my daily commutes, with the stock 13" wheels and good rubber, so the results are a bit limited.)
Now I anm just learning as i go, but one thing i have found so far, is that if i have the rear shocks wound right down to their maximum damping force, the car "hops" around like a motherfcuker, not necessarily leaving the ground, but definitely reducing grip, and also loading up the drivetrain in sympathy with the hops, as the weight of the car is loaded/unloaded. This doesnt just happen on corners, but on all irregular surfaces. I found if i wound the shocks out then this bouncing decreases and a much more "grippy" ride is acheived.
I just had my first track day with the car in the same trim, but with 15" rims and even better rubber, and the results were not bad, but time will tell how much better I can make it.
