Glad to see people applying critical thinking lol
The spring rates are jacked up because they are matched to the damper not the chassis. You think they went out and engineered dampers with valving specific to e9x/e8x spring rates? Probably not. Same thing with KW and even high end stuff like jrz... They literally only make 2-3 dampers and all that changes from chassis to chassis is the mounting points. Then again that's all you really need to do since most dampers have a VERY wide range of damping capability. Just gotta hope you've got enough rear damping as our chassis needs to run relatively high rear rates compared to other platforms.
