Where are the best places to source such "spring rubbers" or whatever they're properly called?

What are you spring rates right now?

With a good shock, even a 400/400 is civil on the street.

I think I have KWs newer V3s, which are closer to 280 or something like that. Personally I find it more than sufficient for daily driving. I don't really see a point in going stiffer just for the 0.5% of the time that my car spends autocrossing.

Great feedback in here so far. Thanks everyone!

Lots of testing. We have a lot of test rigs.

RE Suspension, resuspension.com has all the circle track stuff (and all other suspension stuff too). Can probably get them elsewhere as well. It's a tuning tool the circle track guys use often along with bump stops/bump springs.
