Suspension setup question

So I purchased a set of Tein Super Drift coilovers for my FC based on the spring rates, but I later found out that the damping curves are actually designed for super-dorifto-ness. I use the car for DE and TT, not drifting. TEIN tech support gave me this dyno sheet comparing them to the Flex, I've posted it below. The rebound is on the top of each chart, and the bump is on the bottom. Front shocks are on the left, rear on the right.

I haven't installed them yet, but I'll be putting them in this weekend in anticipation of a track event, as the old K2RD setup I've got now has seen better days.

Do you guys think I'll be able to dial out the oversteer or am I going to be sending them in to Tein when the season is over to get them re valved? Is anybody running this set who can give me some pointers?
