I'm not sure if this will help when staggering wheels though. I'm not enough of a physics wiz to figure that out, but since Stance primarily is focused on hella flush, it might be to counteract the changes of going with staggered setups?
I dunno, seeing spring rates like this though make me think they just applied a previous setup to this car thinking "this'll work just fine" without doing much testing other than making sure the car won't break. The valving is the key though, but it doesn't make logical sense to me to change the dynamics of such a well balanced car THAT much differently without destroying what makes it so great/fun to drive to begin with. Different strokes for different folks. It's one of the joys of tuning.

Those look like typical Impreza spring rates...
