Yours is closer to the softer selection.

For occassional track days, maybe some auto-x, and mostly recreational driving, any suggestions based on these options? I'll probably have the car lowered just slightly.
AST5100 will most likely ride a bit stiffer on their own when compared to the RS1s. If you are not doing a dozen or so track days, I would actually go with the softer of the three set up, especially if its your daily driver. The ASTs will be good enough to compensate for the softer spring rates.
