All the latest published Ronald's and Jilles's set-ups are placed within these ranges of suspension stiffness.

Please note : this is not the stiffness of individual springs but the total suspension stiffness - same as on our graphs.

I think that it is good start point to find your right springs setup for A700.
I've noticed many setups with less gF/mm in the front vs. the rear. I find this odd compared to many setups I've run on other TCs. Am I misunderstanding that a lower gF/mm is a softer suspension?
