Counterpoint: On my maximally-lowered E36 M3 race car, we're running

Moton 3-ways
1599F/343R
Adjustable 38mmF/non-adjustable 32mmR hollow sways
Toe-outF/toe-inR.

Turn-in is exceedingly crisp.

FWIW, the spring rates are uncommon on these cars, yet they work quite well.

While I'm no expert in these matters, I've developed the opinion that there is more than one way to skin this cat.
