Also, take into consideration what moving to a stiffer spring will do to your droop travel. You typically want 60% bump and you may end up with 0 droop travel.

Moving to a stiffer front spring might also put you in a position where those 255s are no longer enough tire and youll just end up dialing in understeer.
Yeah, spoke to a few seasoned track / chassis specialist friends as well. All were blown away at how low the front spring rate is (6k) and said the car needs stiffening up all around. The front inside tire lift probably has most to do with running the M3 front sway and the stock rear sway. I might just swap in the new e92 M3 rear bar with front and rear adjustable endlinks before touching the spring rates. Just to keep the changes minimal, especially since I've got a really good baseline at Buttonwillow.
