I've got a 330i SP with RD Sways. I put them on "firmest" rear, and "medium" front. This will still cause understeer... probably equal to factory settings. The RD Sways will naturally cause more understeer than the factory settings! The UUC's are a bit better balanced. If this is your first track event (this will be my fifth) then dial in understeer!

I used to run 38F/36R on my E36 328i on the track with 225/50ZR-16's all around. My 330i has staggered sizes with 17" wheels. I will probably start around the same (38F/36R) but I am open to suggestions (Jim?). I like the rears a bit softer than the fronts... I think they get a better grip on irregular surfaces during acceleration, and it helps to remove some more of the understeer.
