It's arguable that the good european coilovers ARE sort of tarmac rally inspired. Decent bump AND droop travel due to being single height adjustable with helper springs and not double like all the asian shocks. Usually fairly digressive on compression. Not insane on spring rate.
It's a great way to appraoch a street set-up because you have to be fast and be able to soak up real world bumps. It's why we primarily stick with european brands...it works.
A real tarmac rally coilover of course will have an assload of compression damping for ultra-quick reactions and fast transitions without super stiff springs. Also tons of travel. But you can use those same ideas on your street car.
