RWD cars do not need to be compromised like FWD to get the power down, so you can have good handling with top levels of comfort.

In addition, the Omega uses dual rate springs to initially soft to attain maximum comfort, and stiffer when cornering...

Using the universal marshmallow scale as a reference.  ::)
I'm having a set of up-rated std height front springs made in the next couple of weeks. Can't buy them off the shelf anywhere. My rears are Lesjofors uprated and are spot on.

Admittedly my MV6 does have subtly stiffer suspension than standard...

As said, RWD doesn't need to be compromised in the same way as FWD cars :)

I have an Eibach spring kit on my car, lower, stiffer sprung, bit bumpier at low speeds but still comfortable
