The standard Bilstein HDs are 219/32 (compression/rebound). The guys at Bilsten in San Diego recommended 300/100 for my 914 track car.


compression/rebound doesn't mean anything anymore. The valving is MUCH more complex now. I wish I had picture of some of the cvp graphs for my shocks. Those numbers used to be used to describe linear graphs. The valves available now produce non-linear graphs. That's the best that I can explain without pictures.

And I prefer a faster rebound, to let the tire fall back in place as fast as possible. 300 pounds of damper would be ok. Depending on your corner weight and average distance of shock travel. If it's too stiff, the body will shake over bumps. If it's too soft, the wheels will shake and you'll lose traction.
