I think that my BDR springs, front and rear, are too stiff maybe because of the (relatively) small engine in my build. Admittedly, the handling through curves is great, like the car is on rails, but not so great if the road surface is bumpy. So, I attempted to find out what the stock spring rates are but came up with nothing. Therefore, I don't think anyone would know what the race spring's rate is. I have gotten a pair of softer coil springs for the front on the assumption that the stock spring rate is about 300 lb/in, but have not installed them, yet. I don't think that there are any softer springs for the rear as I believe the stock ones are the same as for the BMW 3 Series 318i. If anyone has spring rates for BDRs, front or rear, stock or race, it would be nice to know.
