You want to set the rear swaybar to the middle setting unless you are on a racetrack. You also want to soften the rear bump and rebound settings so that the rear will squat under acceleration slightly. You can aid this by having a "raked" stance which means having the rear sit 0.5 to an inch higher than the front. It's all about weight transfer and dynamics. A little bit of camber is also a good thing but not too much.

Just remember (at all times, not just when it's dry), you will have heaps of grip at compared-to-a-commodore insane speeds. It's when you go just that little bit too far or hit a mid bump corner and all hell breaks loose you realise that you are going waaaay too fast to do anything about it.

My advice would be do not drive like a cock on public roads. Save it for a track day where you can really exploit the car's abilities and maybe, just maybe, find out what your limits are.
