As always, there are many folks on here that are more competent than I to help . . .

Interesting point about the weight distribution that would explain the slightly heavier 135i getting the stiffer rear spring. I got something very wrong in my post - T3 springs in the back with T2's up front will
increase the rake. So T2/T3 is not the way to go. I probably should either go T2/T2 or T3/T3.
