Stock springs do work nicely with Bilstein B6 and actually BRZ front with FRS rear is pretty good. That would indeed ride better than Bilstein + Yellows (performance was important when designing those springs).
IMO if you're designing from the ground up (which means you're also starting from scratch on the dampers and bumpstops and swaybars etc) then flat ride is the ticket for comfort. But as an example, a BRZ with 200 lbs/in springs front and rear will likely be more comfortable than a car with 200 lbs/in springs front and 250 lbs/in springs rear, (with the same dampers and/or same damping ratio). I encourage you to think about the bumps you encounter, which are most noticeable, and if/when flat ride would help.

I saw the math and my mind went a little numb, but then I remembered there's smart people put there that's done the math already. So it's just a matter of understanding the concept and using it to help me try to pick parts. So yeah. I found their tech tips and read through all of them, despite having no need or ability to add a third spring to my inboard suspension...
I actually found your Instagram post last night while digging around for more info. [emoji106]
Yeah, I'm pretty set on trying the B6 with what I have now and then playing with factory springs to tune as required. Maybe I'll play with ARBs later as well.
