Probably still something I should experiment with. The current tires really had me focused on it as they’re a bit taller than what I was running before.

If softer springs with stiffer damping will control travel better, I’ll be interested in hearing so. As I said, I may be looking at how to address all wrong, so please do let us know.
I would suggest measuring the rod length of the rear shock. You should have about 55mm including the bump stop when the car is on the ground.

I run a taller tire in the rear (295/35/18) and ride a lot of the curbs on the track and haven't had any issues with the suspension bottoming out / hitting the bump stops.

I even ran the rear shocks at 20 clicks soft to test and still didn't get to the bump stops on track.
