Currently have M Performance on the car, and they are alot more compliant but the spring rates are alot softer too, they don't give me the same chassis control and push to the limit as the Ohlins did.

So I am a bit confused on wha to do haha. Fit Ohlins with 140 rear spring, or look for a different kit like AST5100 or something.
You can see the highly digressive nature of the Ohlins dampers generating much more force at low shaft velocities to give you more control and lower force at high shaft velocities to give you more compliance when hitting bumps or running over berms at the track.
