I was searching a bit more about the spring rates of the new MP20 kit. It looks that Öhlins did something similar in the past in the BMW M3 E92. The rear springs had unusual low rates, given also the weight of the particular car. The reasoning at that time was that the kit had been thoroughly R&D'ed and the chosen spring rates had everything to do with the valving of the dampers as well as their unique DFV technology. I suspect that something similar is happening again now and the new kit has a stronger compression damping which together with the DFV gives good results.
