Or the optimal compromise on a street/track car. I do think stiffer is faster - but you can definitely get to a point where the springs are too stiff.

I read somewhere that if the car has sufficient aerodynamics such that with speed the car is very planted with downforce, that then the stiffer the better. This also assumes a fairly smooth track.
