I think that what you portray is wrong regarding a recommended spring rate so explain it to us how that was determined other than that somebody told you something, I would like to learn...

If you would like to learn you can get a job at Vorshlag sweeping the floors, then they will eventually let you work on the cars and at that point the lead engineer will give you the time of day and explain things to you. Or you can go get an engineering degree or you can just do like most of us and go pay a race engineer to figure it out for you. I don’t ask the doctor why he gives me such and such medicine to take, nor do I ask the engineer why the numbers are what they are. I give him the car and I tell him how I want to use it. He then determines what the best spring rates are for what I want to do.

You should spend more time on reading comprehension. The original OP was looking for stiffer rates for AUTOCROSSING. I said in my posts that I AUTOCROSS. I would deduct that the proper rates quoted to me by Vorshlag Motorsports were for AUTOCROSSING and not waterskiing.

FYI: You tune for the particular track or conditions with swaybar changes or swaybar adjustments. That is once you have the proper spring rates for the type of racing you participate in and you fine tune with air pressure adjustments.
