I would first increase the front bar, then decide whether to increase the 
rear, though I would probably try it, too.  One change at a time...  Concrete 
is the best place to try it, as Katie mentioned.  I'd try to get to AAS at 
Castle on Saturday, where you'll have more runs to try things...  Then, if 
you're going to the Tour and/or Pro, continue testing there.  Also, remember 
that if you put one side of the rear bar on stiff and the other on soft, it 
splits the difference.

And document your changes by the time slip, not by car feel.  20 years ago I 
had a CSP RX-3 that felt more neutral with more rear bar, but was always 
fastest with less rear bar and feeling a little pushy...  Tried it a number 
of times, but the result was always the same.
