And it backs up my long-held theory that the springs aren't actually as important as everyone thinks they are....
Stiff springs up front and soft in the rear is a good baseline for 4WD or rear-drive cars, as it will tend to make the car understeer (which is easier to deal with than oversteer). With the M03, though, whatever I put in the rear doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
