spring rate balance is important... if you have it
so a 800lb spring coilover with 2-3" of damper travel can handle 1600-2400lb of force being thrown around...
but if you have NO DAMPER TRAVEL then you are right, spring rate balance is moot because you're at infinity anyway.
so the good turners are the ones that have the entire package worked out
the bad tuners are those that just dump the car and throw up fake gang signs
a top of the line coilover isn't gonna work very well if you slam it to a point where it has no actual motion.
