The main issue he noted is that the spring rates that Ohlins supplies with this kit is way too stiff, 90N/mm front (~513 lbs/in) and 190 N/mm rear ( ~1084 lbs/in).
Just ordered 70N/mm front (~399.71 lbs/in) and 120 N/mm (685.21 lbs/in) springs.
Also will be switching up the tires too, the A052's sidewalls are too soft, going to try the Nankang AR1's.
I will update this thread once I have some more information, might be useful for those who track their M2C and want to have an idea of a better setup to run than out of the box stuff Ohlins offers.

Interesting. I find the springs a bit on the soft side on track. Car bottoms on compressions in the rear. I’ve actually been considering stiffer springs for the rear if I stick with the staggered wheel/tire package to also get a bit less understeer, or all around if I go back to square.
I’ll be interested to hear how those rates work for you though. I know TC Kline recommends significantly softer rates with his coilovers.
Maybe I’m thinking about this wrong.
