As a caveat: I do all my testing at Midfield. As a result, Most of my cars have a bit of oversteer dialed in. But here are some pointers I picked up:
1. Lower the car to the bumpstops. take it out for a test drive. If you are shooting sparks raise the car 5-10 clicks and run again. repeat until you are not sparking at all or only infrequently.
2. If the car is understeering lower the front 2-5 clicks, or raise the back the same amount and run again. Repeat until you are happy with the handling.
3. For GT3. The front springs should usually be set heavier than the rears in a MR car. You want the front to dive a bit on braking so you know you're getting weight transfer and the front tires are getting grip for the turn. But not so much the rear breaks loose.
4. I usually set my stabilizers at 4 front and rear. The body roll and weight transfer are almost perfect with these settings.
5. Brake way before you think you should. First lap brake before the 100m sign then, push up your braking point, using the signs as reference points, with each lap until you find the perfect place to brake.
Hope this helps you get your laptimes down.
