I spoke to a driver who told me that harder springs have the tendency to get the tires on temperature more quickly. But other ways I know that softer springs should provide a little more overall grip.
I experienced the same yesterday and was surprised! In comparison to the 13,5 spring the 16.5 springs all around made the car better and faster. One of our sponsored drivers even drove AE gold springs all around and the car was dialed.

Christian is there a chance that you extend your range of high quality springs with 17.5 and 18.5?
