I read what Orb wrote about susp frequencies, motion ratio and wheel rates. That lead to my question why tuners aren't tripling the rear spring rate from the front. Haven't seen anything from a susp tuner or vendor on this.
I've also considered the BMW PS springs to maintain BMW engineered motion ratio; just couldn't get their rear bumpstops seperate from the kit, so I'm still 'rolling' on the zsp springs as opposed to increasing spring rates which aren't congruent with the way the car was engineered..
