Cheers guys,
Easy bits first:

@RDG40 - yup, all shims stay the same - just shorten the links. Also, bleeder caps all the way. Haven't used bladders since about mid 2011. Definitely easier to build and bleed shocks and the alloy bleeder caps are deffo worth the investment

@Chris - I can understand the drop in anti-squat for polished floor as it will promote rearward weight transfer and I did do this to mine at Telstar last winter. I also moved the shock out on the tower to the outer hole to improve forward drive. It was good but scary when it did let go Definitely one where you have to be quite smooth...but it was good on the slippy (although a handful on the grippy - probably due to the shock location more so than the anti squat though)

As for LRC vs HRC, I can only say that I have stuck with HRC on my set ups. From the testing we did in the beginning, the LRC feels as if it grips harder to begin with but then it lets go more aggressively. It might be faster but I wasn't as consistent with it so I've always stuck with the HRC. Others prefer the locked in initial feeling of the LRC blocks (the HRC will feel looser on corner entry but will be more progressive through the entire turn). Horses for courses really. A bit like the 4mm Trailing axles - Delves swears by them and I swear at them - lol. But as you know and as RDG40 has said, the car is super reactive to small changes so it should be possible to get somewhere near for your individual driving style.

HTH
