Ricepudding: most of such are 1) with custom rates, built to order, 2) stronger to handle rally-ish abuse .. think of 7.5-15K for set. And even then they often are overhauled every 1000km. Spring &...

My wild guess that due firmer springs in rear one won't need more camber in front to get more oversteer, so no more usual "by 0.5deg camber more in front".
As for 10mm higher TRD spring .. imho it...
