Semi related, but when I did Fortune coilovers on my G35 Coupe, somewhere along the way the myth was perpetuated that the spring and shock rates rates should be 10kg up front and 6 kg in the back. When I first got my car back it felt awful, the rear end was way too soft and felt completely out of sorts and dangerously sloppy/loose,

Thankfully Fortunes offerings can be easily mixed and matched and I was able after two subsequent rounds of testing to get the rear spring and shock rates to land all the way at 12kg in the rear to get the right balance. I probably could’ve also gone up to 12 in the front, but 10 was plenty good enough and it is a pain to swap the fronts,

I don’t know what idiot told them that 10kg/6kg was the right set up for a roughly 50/50 balanced car when they were doing the development work, or why they continued to recommend that over time, but in the end thankfully it all worked out and the car was excellent after that.
