16nz34, it’s time to get under the car and see for yourself the change in spring location, then educate yourself on advertised spring rate versus “wheel rate” (like hp vs whp).

The rear rate you have is too stiff. It’s not a matter of opinion. It’s math and physics. You just don’t run the same spring rate when the spring is relocated from inboard to closer to the wheel/hub.

Imagine using a lobster cracker....put a spring where you grip the handle vs putting there same spring closer to the joint/pivot.

You don't have a "slightly firmer rear spring". Your rear springs are way too firm.
