As previously stated, I'm just wondering why the aftermarket doesn't try to emulate that formula, instead choosing to go with much higher front rates and doubling (or not even doubling) the rear rates, and what effects do the aftermarket rates have on understeer and front to rear bump absorbtion?
Oh, okay. I guess you saw the answers that HP Autowerks and Orb gave to a similar question earlier in this thread. In any case, that's the main reason why I chose BMW Performance springs. I couldn't find enough information to have confidence that any other aftermarket brand was trying to achieve what I wanted and knew how to achieve it.
