I like the feeling of more precise weight transfer, I'm waiting for the final specs from Eibach but don't envision a high spring rate, less than 400.

I'll look into Whiteline, I've heard good things. I've had great experience on my 911 and M3 with stiffer than (forum) recommended settings on the sway bars. For me it's more the feel of the weigh transfer and appropriate set-up with the compression/rebound of the struts. I don't like any soft feeling with the lateral weight transfer, I want stiff and direct because I utilize a very smooth/soft input technique. It might be more of a driving style/feeling preference but I hear you guys.
