Quick, simple question. I have a set of KW V3s. They are the softer spring rates (280 lb) and they are great for daily driving. I am weighing the option of swapping them out for some KW Clubsport springs that a friend of mine has because while they work fine for daily driving, they really aren't well-suited for autocross.

Question: I know in an ideal world, valving is matched to the spring rate. I believe the clubsport springs are 400/350, so I'm not talking about crazy-stiff springs. Anyone have any thoughts on whether or not that will screw things up if I just swap out springs without having the dampers re-valved?
