He insisted that the kit had been thoroughly R&D'ed and the chosen spring rates had everything to do with the valving of the dampers as well as their unique DFV technology. He also suggested not to increase spring rates by >30% over stock without revalving. YMMV, just putting out what I heard.
Personally, I'm going to try the stock springs first, play with settings a bit, and see how it feels in daily driving as well as on the track.
