- Is probably better in terms of outright performance with the 7k/7k springs (although maybe a little harsh for DD?)
I don't think these rates are too harsh for dd. I currently have 7k/6k springs on my car and given the adjustable damping I don't think they are harsh. Given you are wanting to track later on these would be much better than the 5k/5k of the Ohlins especially considering the motion ratio at the rear and the tyres you are running.
- Dual damping adjustability gives me a little bit more potential.
I have had dual adjustable dampers in the past and I'm guessing they took me about a month before I had them dialed in the way I wanted but certainly I thought dual adjustable dampers were the way to go. You can tweak them just right!
