If you lower the car to move the perch down into the barrel area of the wheel, you will get the space on the inside but may start to rub on the outside. Def curious to how you and F360C solved this ...
I am running 7 clicks clockwise for compression and 12 clicks for rebound up front and 7/11 out back. With -1.8° out back and -2.3° up front and 245/275 PS2s all around, the car was a little "loose"/tail happy (for me) at Lightning on Monday at its first outing.
I was running KW V3s for about 2 years before the switch and the Clubsports offer a crisper steering response and the car seems to have more grip than before- I can run about the same lap times and feel like there is more in the tank. I will have more feedback after getting more time on this setup.
Bottom line - if you track the car more than 7-8 days a year and the road around you are decent, the Clubsports are the way to go. If the roads around you have lots of expansion joints, construction transitions etc, then V3s are a better all around setup.

i also went with installing my camber shims to my clubsports, i get more camber earlier on the top mount dial as the opening up top limits what you can get without dropping the strut.... so far im very pleased with that decision in terms of the camber shims added at install of the clubsports.
i run a 19 x 8.5 et 34, i have loads of space from the front perch but then again even though im running the camber shims, my 8.5" rim and et 34 are not agressive at all, ill will drop the perch directly to rim height and re-measure the gap and report back.. i believe kw asks for a 4mm minimum gap.
