When I went to the square setup, i didn't feel that the car became any more twitchy.
Of note, I'm running predominately smooth tracks.
I was talking to my friend who has exactly same mods with only 100lbs more than me on a m3 e46 and he runs 650/750. He was telling me that he thinks his springs are also stiff because his compression is perfectly set after many trial and errors and at the end he runs +4/+5....which in conclusion, he is relying more on spring than on dampers because of the low compression setting.

I was also running +4/+5 and I think I need to go +2/+3. which also leads me to the conclusion that I am also relying more on springs....why would I pay crazy amount of money on a coilover to rely on springs 80%?

I am almost certain that 500/600 is the ideal rates for my car without wing...Please correct my thinking if I am wrong =)

I am a guy that loves constructive criticism
