I was just giving you comparison between Xray and Mugen rear springs for reference, as I have measured them some time ago.

BTW, what about the lbs of stock black spring? I think its much heavier than Mugen white.

The black springs are too hard on bumpy track. When I followed the basic set up, it worked fine, just little bumpy.
When the roll center lower, the car was really bumpy like hell.
Im now change the Mugen grey at front and Xray red at rear, the feeling is:
-Front is too heavy
-Rear is ok, but not willing to turn
which is the best spring combination for bumpy road?

What springs were the team using during the WC in Miami ? as they seemed to be Red ones on Swuager's car are those genuine Xray ones ? If so are they the same as NT1's ?

Yes at the WC the whole team ran Xray springs. On the front they were the 7.0 springs and on the rear its was the red spring, which is from the old spring kit.

If you are saying you dont have enough steering with this combination what about trying the radio plate flex buttons ? As I understand it the theory behind introducing flex is to increase steering.

And its only a little different, just increase the rear weight transfer.

Let us know how it goes with the shake down. I have our first RX8 almost finished and with the kit setup. At first the car looks very simple but once you build it, you realize there are quite a few things going on setup wise with the car and several setttings that can be used. Car is going together perfectly. We are looking forward to running them soon.
