I'm not convinced of that yet. (After all, there was an article by Pobst with a BRZ on RCE T2's with 400/400 who loved it on track)

It seems like many fast autox guys (who don't broadcast their setup online) are stiffening the rear a touch, sometimes via swaybars, maybe not enough to compensate for the motion ratios, but I think the square spring rates will fade out of favor for competition use.

Even spring rates is a solid starting point but I'd be surprised if it was the ultimate setup. I can feel the rear lagging over road bumps, it can't be the most planted setup out there.

The stupid amounts of testing I would do if I had time and money
