I'll probably end up trying this out myself but I was just wondering if anyone here did much experimenting with softer springs before settling on the widely accepted 400/400 and also seeing if anyone has any feedback on how the car does with rates like that.
It can depend a lot on how bad your local lots are. In SoCal softer rates are better to some extent. In general you only want as much spring as you need, compliance is a good thing. I'm running the Whiteline MaxG coilovers this season, starting the test with 5kg/5kg and likely going to move up to 6kg/7kg to get the balance I want.
