For those of you who have installed the M3 kit, do you think that this decreased spring rate would make a substantive difference? I'm trying to get a sense of how important this would be for overall feel and driveability. (I figure the wizards at Ohlins know what's going on.) Incidentally, this would be for a combined road and 5-6 HPDEs/year scenario.

I just installed the 1M specific kit last week and tested them at Sebring this past weekend. I can tell you it was a noticeable difference on all levels. I ran 3 clicks in the front and 4 in the rear. Not as stiff as I read, maybe it is the lower spring rates. I did A LOT of research and very happy I went this route, the rebound control is absolutely amazing. Car does not bounce at all and is very stable.
Regarding the ride height; you have the ability to go very low, I stuck with the recommended height, however, I may raise the rear. I will post some pics for those interested.
I went through Adam at GMP Performance and paired the 1M R&T kit w/ a set of Ground Control street camber plates.
