PSS9 so just the top adjusters
The R888s will be interesting for sure, but are too expensive for me as a long term solution.
My car is very much a "road car that sometimes does track days" rather than a "track weapon" like MB's is.

Track day ain't cheap Is ok you are only running 16s, imagine if you have to run 20 inch with 285, you should feel better straight away after thinking about that
Tyres pressure try to get it to around 33-36psi hot with the R888.

I think you are going to like the tyres though, and I think you will get quite a few track days more out of them if you stick them on a spare set of 16s. Spare set of 16's must be give away prices now?

At super-smooth Spa, full stiffness on the Bilsteins is still too soft, so I'm not sure you could gain anything by tweaking other than entry/exit. Go do the Nordschleife, then you'll learn how good your suspension is.
