Rally suspension is a different kettle of fish though, for a start the forces are way beyond anything you see in a road racecar.

Hydraulic bumpstops and progessive damping are often used in a well setup rally damper.

Back on track,

I don't understand why the new spec ohlins is equipped with the spring rate that soft.
Have you tried the MI20 kit? What are the damper settings? Personally I dont recommend anything less than 12 clicks on the MI20.
